The awareness of systemic racism and white privilege in our country right now is breathtaking. It calls for each of us do do more, to be part of this movement. This is a really broad list of suggestions for learning, embracing, and doing more.

As our organization commits to engaging with and supporting anti-racist work, we share these resources with you as an invitation to join us in learning, taking action, and working toward individual and collective change. We offer this compilation as a starting point with the recognition that the wor...

oh yeah, anxiety... all the time: WHERE'S THIS GOING and WHEN will it stop?? This is a useful news clip/interview that reminds us that all across the globe, we're joining with all the other humans and learning about how to manage life in a pandemic (so what if 'local' is Texas??).

Tori Dixon, a licensed professional counselor in Dallas, has been reminding people if they don’t take care of themselves first during this pandemic, there is no way they will be able to take care of someone else.

THESE ARE THE DAYS when mindfulness can help with what otherwise could/might be (is?) a time of such fear and uncertainty. How we focus our mind, what we choose to rest our attention on makes all the difference... one moment at a time.

Mindfulness can help you not make the stress of COVID-19 worse.

This is such a beautiful invitation... and tho these days of the pandemic place an extraordinary and untenable burden on so many, perhaps also some opportunity to create moments of awakening. Just moments... not a steady state, that's not possible, but each moment offers us the possibility of presence.

So much of what is challenging for us arises in our relationships with others. How we communicate creates the ground for intimacy and connection, for meeting what is difficult, and for potentially healing what is ruptured.

This is such a handy primer for ways to integrate mindfulness into everyday life... because that's why we practice, not because we hope to be really good at sitting on a cushion for 45 minutes, right?!?

Mindfulness is a commitment to yourself. I live with anxiety, which I used to allow steal growth opportunities from me, overcome me, and at times, rule me. T

It's so true, it isn't only awareness of what's here and now that frees us... it's also the mental attitude of acceptance, without judgment. Mindfulness helps us recognize our experience, and then wisdom helps us see how we relate to it with equanimity. Everything changes when we don't get attached to what's here, now.

Mindfulness is known to have many advantages, including reducing stress, increasing awareness, improving physical health, and more. However, when it comes to lowering stress levels, without also practicing acceptance, we might not see the results we hope for. "Mindfulness practices that specifically...
