Paul Johanson sheds light on simple, contemplative ways we can rewire our minds and change our direction, when we are feeling stuck in a cycle of stress or suffering💡

Often, our minds are racing at full tilt, driven by deep-seated habits that can lead us straight into suffering. It can feel like we have no control!

The good news? We can gently take the reins.

The path to profound change and true joy lies in replacing self-focus with its opposite: Kindness, Love, and Compassion. 💖

In this blog post Michelle tells us how mindfulness has helped her with the grief of losing both her parents. Michelle's story reminds us that mindfulness isn't about being perfect or strong all the time. It's about being present with whatever we're feeling and finding gentle ways forward, checking in with ourselves without judgment.
