Becoming
More Mindful
Mindfulness is a state of mind. It is an ancient Buddhist concept from about 2500 years ago.
There are three distinct components of Mindfulness.
1. Focused Attention
2. Open Awareness
3. Kind Intention
​
Mindfulness allows you to reinforce your intentions.
Meditating
-
Find a quiet space
-
Relax. Get comfortable
-
Start by focusing on your breath

Then you can turn your focus to the flame of a candle, or the feel of Mala beads or the comfort of a repeated word (mantra)

If your mind wanders, just notice it and gently bring your thoughts back

Praying....

Finding Beauty
"Forest Bathing"
Take a Meditation Nature Walk
Soak up the beauty in nature.
​
Walking in nature is a spiritual practice that helps you see the presence of Spirit. All around you different forms of life are seeking to express themselves, and new life is constantly being created.
Practicing Gratitude
Write in your GRATITUDE JOURNAL every day.
Start with 2 or 3 things you are grateful for.
​
1. I saw a bright yellow dandelion growing up through a crack in my sidewalk. I reached down to pull it out. Then I stopped to look closer at the beauty of the flower.
I am grateful for the beautiful yellow of that flower.
​
2. The clouds above are slowly moving and changing shape.
I am grateful for the playful clouds I see above my porch.
Then work your way up to noticing more
and more things that fill your heart with GRATITUDE.
