Live mindfully, we’re told. Meditation helps stress, they tell us.
We know they’re right, but knowing where to start, and how to develop our skills, can feel overwhelming.
Where do we start, what do I actually Do!?
And the overwhelm can lead us to give up because knowing where to start is just too stressful when you’re already living with anxiety and depression.
This is exactly where I was a few short years ago. Too angry to be mindful, too anxious to meditate - in fact the more I concentrated on relaxing, the faster my heart would pound! Just awful.
And then I had an epiphany about how I was seeing my world. I saw things in a whole different way. And I suddenly saw steps appear in front of my eyes which took me step by step from a second of awareness at a time all the way to where I am now - able to sit with a quiet mind for 20 minutes - and if you're still reading this you’ll understand that this feels like an amazing miracle to me.
Now I’m going to share my path - I’ve worked out the steps to make it easy for you - in a way, and with explanations, that make complete sense.
I’ll be adding testimonials and comments from my online series, so you can read how simple changes of perspective can create big shifts in your world.
All 3 sessions are included:
One: how everyday mundane and frustrating events can be turned into to moments of peace and presence. With practices.
Two: how mindfulness and awareness of our emotional reactions can be changed to self-awareness, conscious communication and an improvement in our relationships, leading to a greater peace with our circumstances and choices.
Three: how the word meditation can be de-mystified and create space for us to see things clearly. We will practice at least 3 ways, and you will gain an understanding of just how many ways you can meditate - even for a minute at a time, in a noisy crowd!
