Mindful Moments with Mayouti

When we meditate with Satya in mind, we can see things as they are and now as we wish they were. This increases our resilience as we practice mindful meditation.

We continue to enhance our meditation practice through the use of Aparigraha, or non-attachment, which is another one of the self-disciplines of Yoga (called the Yamas).

In this episode, we apply one of the self-disciplines (called the Yamas) to our mindful meditation practice.

Take a moment to be mindful of the emotions swirling around you. Resilience to them starts with identifying them and noticing that they’re here.

Give yourself space to breathe. In doing so, bring your awareness to yourself and to the present moment.

Body scan meditations are mindfulness meditation techniques that allow us to manage physical and emotional stress. Join us for this short practice to get a sense of the results.

Today we learn how patience allows us to be kind to ourselves as we practice mindfulness meditation.

This guided meditation helps the practitioner recognise that the mind chatter is highly likely; but you can move past uncomfortable resistance just by beginning again.

This is the “post hurricane Fiona” episode. Loved ones are safe, and we still have no electricity. The kitten is restless… And we forge on, creating a moment of mindfulness for a few minutes, engaging in the practice of Letting Go.

Acceptance helps the meditator be here now, without expectations. Together we’ll do a mindfulness practice in a way that reduces disappointment and suffering. Just with Acceptance.

When we’re meditating, we’re bound to be distracted by thoughts that have nothing to do with this one meditation session. Then we’re disappointed in ourselves and say that “We’re no good at this.” Well… That’s simply not true. In this episode, we learn how to use Non-Judgment as we continue our mindful meditation practice.

This week, we will practice meditating for 5 minutes simply by focusing on our breath. We’ll do this through the lens of the beginner’s mind: we’ll have no expectations.
