What Blogs Covering the Research Paper Topics?
What Blogs Covering the Research Paper Topics?The Center for Mindfulness Research and Practice recently published a series of blog posts for their blog by President George L. Foulks on the blogging and publishing experiences of their study participants and associated studies. Some of the articles were about research topics; some of them were about particular blogs and journals; and some of them were a commentary on the blogging activities of the authors and other scholars. My intention is to use this article to provide some background on some of the blogging published in the 2020 online Journal of Mindfulness Studies.I was able to find some of the blogs associated with the topic on the blue star search engine and was interested in exploring more of the blogs that were posted on Mindful Parenting. This was a blog devoted to parenting with the goal of reaping the best benefits of the child's being in a loving, cooperative relationship with a caring parent.Another blog mentioned in the author's introduction was associated with a discussion of utilizing an inner voice to motivate or train a person. However, that journal was not about mindfulness practice. It was called Loving Relationships: Healing Emotions Within and Between People. This journal was primarily focused on unitive practices and was related to the subject of meditation.The next journal was an email conversation between John Lee and Teresa Nelson on the topic of how much or how little the parents could take away from each parent's quality time with the children. These were parents who had been battling a chronic illness and were sharing with each other how they had managed to achieve remission. They discussed the benefits of daily exercise and creating a healthy lifestyle. Their journal is entitled Deep Interventions: Benefits of Daily Exercise and Healthy Living.After reading through this entire journal, I realized that most of the bloggers I found in the Internet were focused on a variety of topics. They shared what they learned about meditation practices, how to meditate, various states of consciousness, stress reduction, and other health concerns. Some of the blogs included a parent's journal, a kid's journal, a list of where to get free stuff, and various commentaries on current events. A few had categories about music, fashion, food, relationships, weight loss, and other issues.The final journal of the group of blogs was a parenting perspective journal. In this one, a family who had been dealing with anxiety over circumcision reported on a journey of healing, which included laughter, hugs, peace, and love. It was entitled Uncircumcising Your Kids and included a link to the article it was related to.I was interested in reading about the blue star blogs from the perspective of a researcher. However, I found most of them fascinating because they were able to share their insights and experiences as a parent or grandparent. This book of blogs and journals will provide a new venu e for parents and caregivers to discuss their own experiences.I enjoyed reading the Blue Star blogs about the benefits of exercises and relaxing routines for caregivers. I also found this to be one of the blogs that was too spiritual in tone. However, it still managed to provide valuable insight into how our children relate to us.
