Mindfulness

Mindfulness is a way of providing self-care by developing a practice of physical movements, meditation & breathing techniques to become aware of what’s going on within & around you.

This becomes evident by examining our thoughts, emotions, and/or bodily sensations. Once we’re aware, we can choose to explore, ignore, or release it.

Cultivating Mindfulness

Getting started with a mindfulness meditation practice can sometimes seem intimidating, but it's important to remember that even a few minutes each day can be beneficial. Just a few minutes of being present can reap significant benefits. Even if you don't do it every day, it's a practice you can keep coming back to when you need it.

  • Find time to be alone – start by dedicating a few minutes of the day to spend time with SELF!

  • Make yourself comfortable by finding an area with the least distractions.

  • Movement can be meditative. Incorporate it into your practice.

  • Consider your practice as opportunities for promoting loving kindness & gratitude. Get to know yourself from the inside out.

  • Know that it’s okay to have a sense of curiosity.  Feel free to examine the sensations within your body, your thoughts, and/or emotions “IF” that’s what you choose to do. Your mind is a no-judgment zone!

  • Realize no two practices are the same. I invite you to open your awareness to each moment within your practice.

  • Don’t be afraid of the silence. Use your senses to explore your surroundings.
