If you stop to think about it, you might be surprised at the answer you receive.
But the truth is that most of us don’t have the time to truly reflect on the life we have right now. Or perhaps, better said, we don’t TAKE the time to reflect on all that we have and all that we can be thankful for.
It’s not a matter of being ungrateful, but more that our lives are so busy that we forget to stop and breathe.
This is where mindfulness meditation can help.
Mindfulness teaches you to become aware of your thoughts, physical sensations , and emotions moment to moment without judgment. This practice leads to a deep awareness of yourself and your surroundings.
Over time, the practice will help you uncover your inner wisdom, creating a more peaceful and compassionate life.
Mindfulness Meditation has been clinically proven to improve physical well –being and decrease stress in daily life. Many people are preoccupied with the past and worry about the future to such an extent that they miss the gift of the present moment. As spiritualist, Eckhart Tolle, says, “Nothing happens outside the NOW.” You now have the opportunity to learn to live in the now, creating joy in your daily life.
Oprah who is a proponent of Meditation and who recently traveled to “TM town” which is a small city in Fairfield, Iowa (population: 9,500) where the majority of residents practice daily meditation, said this about Meditation:
“I walked away feeling fuller than when I’d come in. Full of hope, a sense of contentment, and deep joy. Knowing for sure that even in the daily craziness that bombards us from every direction, there is—still—the constancy of stillness.”
If you answered, YES, then I have great news for you!
I have created a 8-week, “JOY – Just Observe Yourself: Mindfulness Meditation Stress Reduction Program” and I’d like to invite you to join me in getting your “spark” and “joy” back.
By making the effort to stop and be present for your life as it is right now, you can bring that joy, that spark back into your life, with mindfulness meditation as a tool.
Stress is the barrier to connect with who you really are and with how you want to feel right now.
