Paths to Stillness

Paths to Stillness A service to cultivate mindfulness: bringing peace, calm, choice and awareness into your life through 1-1 sessions (women) and also beginner workshops (open).

I have been meditating for 17 years and have regularly completed courses in mindfulness training, including the MBSR (Mindfulness based stress reduction) course started by Jon Kabat-Zinn. I have recently taken a certified mindfulness facilitation training course with Mindfulness in NZ. I have been on monastic retreats and enjoy contemplation. I have a Bachelor Applied Social Sciences (Major in Social Work) and studied for two years towards a Bachelor of Arts (Major in Psychology and Feminist Studies). I have worked in the disability and service sector in various paid and voluntary ways. I am also an experienced childcare caregiver and community support worker for high and complex behaviors and needs.

Looks like a fabulous retreat!

Instead of reacting emotionally or in ways that don’t align with your true character, set the intention this week to simply pause.

When you feel irritation or stress rising within, repeat this simple guiding practice:

✨ Pause. Breathe. Begin again. ✨

It takes practice—and plenty of self-forgiveness—but choosing to pause creates space for ease, peace, and the chance to respond with intention.

Sending love,

Had a great day yesterday leading a eco-mindfulness session in a meadow. The wind got up whilst we were walking mindfully but a relaxing afternoon. Thanks to all those who attended.

Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature -- the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter. In nature nothing exists alone.

Silent Spring -- this is so relevant for us in this season -- the constancy of our earth rhythm and cycles while our lives change and turn.

A great premise for my outdoor event on sunday.

Look at a tree, flower, a plant. Let your awareness rest upon it. How still they are, how deeply rooted in just “being”. Allow nature to teach you stillness. Eckhart Tolle

This is a useful technique when you find yourself getting swayed by the chaos of life.  This works for me.
