Happy mid-July--when it's hot pretty much everywhere! ☀️🔥🌞

Happy New Week!

We continue with our theme for the year, being in the flow, and using our meditation practice to strengthen our ability to stay in that flow.

https://youtu.be/C_uF1zSfxRs

I do mention that while activities like walking, yoga, and creative activity can help focus the mind, meditation uniquely allows for complete internal focus, strengthening the ability to observe both internal and external experiences with calmness.

Remember: Your breath doesn't care what your mind is doing! Just return your focus to your breath over and again to strengthen your calm.

Keep up with your daily meditation as our Mondays are on pause through July and August. Cultivate this inner poise, the skill of staying present and managing emotions without being overwhelmed, as part of your practice of being in the flow of life.

Stay in the flow of love, peace, and poise this week!

Thank you for sharing in this time with me!

See you next week!

Take time to love yourself by keeping your meditation time each day! Your practice will support you and put you in the flow and peace of life!

Happy New Week!

Quick announcement: We are taking a break from live Monday Morning Meditations (Mmm!) for the months of July and August. We'll continue through June until then, and resume in September.

In this week's Monday Morning Meditation (Mmm!), we explore the brain's "negativity bias" that hooks like velcro to difficulties, adhering them to us; and experiences the good times like teflon--rolling right off of us. (Refer to Rick Hanson's book, Buddha's Brain: The Science of Happiness.)

https://youtu.be/jt7HvTorCZI

Hanson tells us the way to counter that negativity bias is to breathe into the good things that happen during your day. Spend some time feeling the good things--at least as much time as you might spend focusing on what's difficult!

Our meditation time helps us build that muscle of turning our attention to where we want it, not where our emotions try to pull our attention. We can be in charge of our awareness, instead of our emotions being in charge of us.

Thank you for sharing in this time with me! Stay in the flow of love, peace, and poise this week!

See you next week!

Happy New Week!

Quick announcement: We are taking a break from live Monday Morning Meditations (Mmm!) for the months of July and August. We'll continue through June until then, and resume in September.

In the meantime, let's fortify our practice so we can continue being in the flow all summer! Remember the following:

https://youtu.be/pRtO10I39X0

+ Continue your daily meditation practice during July and August when live Monday morning meditations are paused.
+ Explore alternative meditation resources (e.g., recorded meditations on YouTube, guided meditations by Mooji ( ) or Jane Elizabeth Hart ( ) or meditation music (my favorite is / ) for use during the summer break.
+ If you haven't already, establish a specific time and place for daily meditation to create a routine.
+ Commit to your personal meditation time every day this week.

I'll see you next week and through June! Stay in the flow of love, peace, and poise this week!

Thank you for sharing in this time with me!

See you next week!
