a unique & beautiful life
What is Mindfulness Meditation? The art of paying attention with a gentle awareness and compassion; practicing non-judgemental awareness and relating to the moment to moment experience of being here now with skillfulness; learning how to deepen presence, be with the ups and downs and in betweens of being fully human with a myriad of skills to relate to the experience with awareness.
Also known as pure awareness and remembering, the art of Mindfulness goes beyond being "in the moment" and teaches us how to relate to the moment of being human, recognizing that each one of us is unique, each moment and day is different.
Heightening our awareness through mindfulness, conscious breathing, embodying our unique experience, cultivating a relationship with our minds, connecting to our heart center and feeling the moment in a grounded way can deepen our connection with our own being, all living beings and the earth itself. Mindfulness Meditation is a gentle practice in compassion, kindness, humanity and unity.
