We are in the midst of a pandemic, and many are quarantined and feel isolated. Many of us are working from home and taking care of children, holding education classes, and taking care of other family members. So what could we or should we be doing with all of this newness? Well, we could stop stressing about it and start enjoying it. Stay in bed a little longer. Go for walks with the kids in the afternoon. Learn meditation and practice mindfulness. Watch a movie in the aftern

Something amazing happens every time you are in awe. Being in awe combines a sense of fear, excitement, respect, and wonder. Being in awe is a mindfulness act. Being in awe can bring meditation-like benefits. Think about the last time you were in awe. Maybe it was on a roller coaster ride or a hike through a protected national forest. Maybe you earned and saved enough to buy your first home. Maybe you just witnessed the birth of your first child. Being in awe sets your heart

You scheduled the time; you found a quiet space; you closed your eyes; took a deep breath in through your nostrils, and exhaled through your mouth - 3 times. You’re focused on your breathing. And then you start planning your dinner - the time you need to prepare, the ingredients, what you need to buy, etc. Brain chatter happens to everyone, so do not get discouraged. Return your attention to your breath. No judging. Just come back to breathing and your breath. Every time you

Here are a few myths surrounding meditation: Meditation is boring. On the contrary, it will open you up to a whole new level of vibration and energy. Being quiet will become easier with time and you will actually relish this newness. The real benefits of meditation happen in the other hours of the day when you’re going about daily life. When you emerge from a meditation session, you carry some of the stillness and silence for that moment, this allows you to be more creative,

You can have an abundance of tangible stuff. You can have an abundance of emotional stuff. All of this stuff is a result of your personal energy vibration. What does that mean, you might wonder? When we think, there is an energy vibration being constructed. There is vibration in all things material and emotional. What you think and spend time with/on attracts like-minded energy vibrations. That is where the people, places, and things you have in your life are created by you.

What could you let go that might change your life? Something that would turn everything upside down and inside out. Something that would be kind of earth-shaking. Something that scares you and needs to change. Something that would drastically make things better or at least different. Letting go does not mean you forget. It does not mean you don't care. It doesn't mean you won't remember, reminisce, or ponder. Quite the contrary. If you let go to make a change, it's because yo

Reading out loud to another is a beautiful way to connect. We often do this with small children reading a story at bedtime. Try this practice with someone older - maybe a significant other, a teen or young adult, or your spouse. You can start with each of you reading a chapter - learning and connecting in a poetic, mindful way. Through words, we connect our minds. But through emotions, brought upon by the reading, we nurture the soul. Be mindful and give yourself and another

June is the month of longest days. There are more hours in each day in June. Take advantage of every single moment.

Times are changing and with that can come the feeling we are floating away. Kind of like we are on a hot-air balloon soaring into the skies with no true seeming direction. Be brave dear readers because we are entering a time in our history that we have never seen before. Who is going to benefit? You! It will be those who seek to educate themselves on changes that impact them. It will be those who try to unlearn learned biases. It will be those who really make sure the relatio

Mindful awareness in nature is a beautiful way to practice mindfulness. Start outside in a place that has a variety of nature such as a park or your yard. What do you see? Take in all that you see, expanding your sight on the big picture. Perhaps it's a large park with people, foliage, park equipment, a path, etc. Take it all in visually and don't miss anything. Little by little whittle down those sights to just a few things. Soon your attention and awareness will rest on one

Meditation can be a life changing, awesome practice. If you have not tried meditation yet, it's time you do. There is a reason that people around the world, just like you, regularly practice meditation. Any time you can take time for yourself is good. Any time you can quiet your mind is good. Any time you can rest your body is good. How to meditate - start by finding a nice quiet space that you feel safe. Get comfortable and gently close your eyes. Start by paying attention

Your morning alarm rings and just before you get out of bed, check in with how you are feeling. Lie on your back and bring your attention to your face and pay attention to your senses. Notice your eyes - what do you see? Your nose - what do you smell? Your ears - what do you hear? Your mouth - is there a taste? Swallow gently. Slowly move your attention down your neck and torso, bringing awareness to your arms and then legs, while resting in final awareness at your feet. Did
