Lots of lawyers try meditation with the hopes of "clearing" their minds. Meditation teachers may tell us that isn't the goal.  This talk will show you that, even if frustrating, this may not be a bad thing. MILS teacher, lawyer, and mindfulness teacher, Claire E Parsons, learned something shocking when she started meditating a decade ago: some of her thoughts were ideas. When she learned to let them bounce and play, she realized that her mind wasn't trying to annoy her; instead it was trying to tell her to write. In this session, you'll learn how she leveraged her mindfulness practice to trust her intuition, let go of hang ups and judgment, pursue her joy, and transition from beginner writer to blogger and book author. Whether you write or cook or paint or garden, this session may help you see your meditation practice, your mind, and its contents in a new way.
