MOMENTS OF MINDFULNESS

We offer you a few moments of mindfulness and rest in the videos below. We hope you access them when you need a few moments to still your mind, body, and heart. As a beginner to meditation, it is important to remember that as the listener, you have control over your experience. In these meditations, the facilitator will be offering suggestions to you.  Sometimes the suggestions or word phrasing may not work for you. Feel free to substitute your own.  Among the benefits of meditation is that it can bring clarity and ease to the body, mind, and emotions. If, however, you are experiencing overwhelming anxiety or fear related to previous trauma, you might need to consult an expert in that area for additional support.

Shadow Art 2:06 - Take a break from the serious work of examining and understanding the way your mind and emotions work for a little while. Walk outside and get some sunshine. Look for the beauty all around you. Notice the plants that our Earth provides for us. Let’s focus on another type of shadow work. Loosen up and see beyond your fears. Be present. Breathe deeply. Slow down. Have fun.
