Learn how using all our senses and our observing mind rather than our thinking mind can be a powerful and satisfying experience.
This practice of bringing ourselves back to the present moment over and over is one of the most basic of mindfulness practices and one of the most powerful as well.
Where we focus our attention has a tremendous impact on our emotional experience.
A secret weapon to bring yourself back into the present moment, is helpful when feeling panicked or overwhelmed but can be used throughout the day to bring yourself back into the present (and out of a distracted mind).
The basis of mindfulness. Experience the power of mindfulness by practicing this throughout the day – it helps you learn to savor and fully experience our lives. We learn to focus on the present instead of being bogged down by thoughts of the past or anxiety about the future.
Learn to focus on your body (rather than the stories in your head)
A quick practice to use throughout the day, a mindful pause – helps us make wiser decisions and better care for ourselves.
A short way to calm and relax oneself when feeling overwhelmed, or just needing a reset.
