This Mindful Life

This week I talk about we can lose ourselves in the pursuit of some future goal, often at the expense of connection with ourselves. The talk is followed by a 10 minute guided meditation.

Mindfulness is really about relationship; cultivating an awareness of how we relate with ourselves, to others, to circumstances, emotions, etc. Today we explore this idea, learning how it can begin as something vague and deepen into an intimate understanding.  The talk is followed by a 15 minute, loosely guided meditation.

Cultivating a mindfulness practice means we begin to give ourselves permission to feel things we often don't allow ourselves to feel. In this talk, I talk about how committing to my practice has allowed me to become aware of a feeling inside my body I've felt for a very long time, but wasn't aware of. The talk is followed by a 15 min. guided meditation.

What is Mindfulness Meditation? How do we do it? Why do we do it? Today's talk covers these points and is followed by a 15 minute guided meditation.

Today I talk about finding mindfulness in an everyday activity and the surprising lesson it teaches. Includes a 15 minute guided Mindfulness Meditation.

In this talk and guided mindfulness meditation, I discuss how getting in touch with who we are at our core, past the labels we are given, underneath the mask we present, and beyond how we relate to others, is part of what we do in Mindfulness practice. We come back to ourselves.
