Using mindfulness to sharpen perception
There are many more aspects to perception than are available to our conscious minds. Psychological experiments have repeatedly shown that we are often not consciously aware of much of the information our brains are processing.
Some of these shards of perception, if brought to the conscious level, can make a huge difference to our everyday lives. The question then is how do we access this information. A recent trend in psychology has been towards the study of 'mindfulness', a kind of meditation aimed at focussing the mind on the present. Perhaps this technique can aid certain types of mental processes.

Hello
Can anyone help. I was looking at some holiday snaps my friend had taken when one pic really stood out. A friend of ours 'male' had taken a picture of his friend also male through a mirror. The only person seen in the mirror is the subject and not the camera man. Why I hear you ask would I need a psychological reason for this. The camera man had an affair with the subjects wife, they are still friends...They did go on holiday together.
Is there any reason for this photo. Oh also the wives and other family and friends went on this holiday. All involved know about the affair. The subject seems to be aware of the photo being taken.
Hope someone can help
