We’re using Mindfulness & Meditation to practice Kindness and Compassion in February.

So many of us are in pain these days.
Pain in mind, body, spirit, or multiple layers.

I’ve been down this tunnel of darkness before and know a way out.

Mindful practices light us up on the inside. This gives us enough light to see *just the next step.*

That next step will vary for each of us. Maybe it will active - or restful, expressive to the outer world - or within ourselves. In the quiet you’ll hear your intuition speak clearly on how to ease your pain.

Join us on online on Wednesdays at 8pm Eastern to soothe your heart. Invite a friend, from any state, to join you in a practice of peace.

We’ll start tonight with kindness and compassion for ourselves…because it always starts with us.

In our community mindfulness and meditation are tools for transformation as well as regulation.

Our weekly, online Mindfulness & Meditation class kicks off again tonight at 8pm EST with a focus on Living Intentionally.

Join us, or register to receive the recording!

We all come to this practice in search of something, even if we’re not sure of what it is.

Our community members usually have intentions for healthy living. We want positive change.
Some clients may have set intentions for living with healthier boundaries, new nutritional habits or better self-care for mind and body.

The mindful practices we use on Wednesdays will support your intentions for positive change and personal growth.

Try a class even if you’re just curious!

Mindfulness and meditation are each power practices and in this program you get to experience both.

How will you be mindful during our Fall Break?
🍂 Fall themed ideas below!

Classes are canceled this week as I tend to my hypermobile neck with a regenerative medicine treatment.

Thank you for this cozy recovery/Halloween sweatshirt!

Try These 4 Mindful, Centering Practices to Reset:

🍁If you’re in a cooler area with changing foliage step into the outdoors for a walk or some fresh air. Notice a color you see on every exhale.

🌬️ Pause to notice 10 exhales. You’re already exhaling, just pause to notice! What are the sounds you hear with you in the present moment?

🎶 Find a new song to cue your relaxation response. I keep a Calming playlist to turn on when I want to relax or when traffic is stressing me out. Link sound with your choice to relax.

🛏️ Place your hands, or a small pillow or stuffed animal, on your belly and breathe deeply to fall asleep. Long exhales help us shift into a relaxed state.

Let us know how you spent your fall break next week in Mindfulness & Meditation Class on Wednesday, November 5, or Mindful Help for Anxiety, Stress & Pain on Thursday, November 6.
