mindfulness
A channel for discussing mindfulness (theory & practice)
In every moment, we have two choices: be mindful or mindless.
Mindfulness is the philosophy of gaining control of our experience and living a more engaged life ✨

No one is ever finished learning but I have surmised
I do believe that embodiment is how we snap into the reality we want, right now.
No books, no manifestation journaling, no hope for tomorrow.
Right now. Imagine your wish fulfilled. It’s yours. Then reality adapts to *you*
Almost too simple. Feels like that’s why no one cares or believes it.

It's been almost two weeks since I reminded you...
I hope you haven't forgotten to breathe.
If you have...
Breathe.
In. Out. Repeat.
Focus only on the breath.
Hone in on the sensation of your breath entering and leaving your nose, passing over your upper lip.
Keep at it.
Start with a minute.
If you "don't have time" for one minute, you need to do it for five.

When you're stuck, just breathe.
If the thoughts swirl, imagine that each exhale is pushing them away.
Just for now.
Breathe.
Our breathe is the only autonomic function we can truly control, it connects us to our nervous system, and it's one of the most powerful ways we have to regulate and reconnect to our bodies so we can function as a whole human. <3

Mindfulness in Recovery
May 17, I got hit by a truck while riding my bike and broke my leg. 10 weeks off my feet, non-weight bearing, and I'm just now getting to where I can transition from crutches to a cane in the house.
Each step is a moment of mindfulness.
Heel to toe, taking care to notice what each muscle and joint is doing.
More awareness of my body than I've ever had before.
It's not about pain - there is some ache here and there, but mostly, the leg feels weird. It forgot how to be a leg, and now I have to consciously remind it how to be one.
Everything has to the potential to be practice.

Breathe.
One step at a time.
These are such simple things that we need to be reminded of them regularly because they're so easy to forget.
So breathe.
Take one step at a time.
You'll get there.

Mindfulness isn't just about sitting in meditation for an hour a day.
That's just practice for the real thing.
Which is being able to approach every moment with the Pause so you can respond according to who you strive to be, not according to the reactionary patterns ingrained in you.
