I’m wondering if I’m living my one life that I have to live in a way that is aligned with my well-being. My biggest growth has always come from moments of self-reflecting, self-regulating and letting go of what I could not change or meet in yesterday, the day before or the past. In defending my roles as mother, wife, mindfulness educator etc etc etc, I drown in busyness and pay the price of losing my personal connection with the present moment. If we are all busy “doing” because we have wired ourselves to be defined by and be defensive of our roles and responsibilities, we need to dive deeper into mindfulness.

I know I am not alone in this. I also know that all those that regularly attend these Monday sessions find comfort in leaning into the weekly practices of mindfulness. They give us pause. They give us calm. They reset our busyness habits to take us to the baseline of returning to our inner homes to rest and refuel.

If you’re intrigued to uncover more on this, these practices are FREE to access on my School of Growth school-of-growth-for-parents.teachable.com/ platform under Mindfulness Meditation Monday. Hope you feel inspired enough to join us in strengthening our mindfulness muscles as we lift the weight of our daily responsibilities and undertakings.

If you’re a regular or a beginner, I’m grateful that I get to build my own practice with you and I look forward to seeing you tonight from 8:00 – 8:30pm PST for a FREE mindfulness and meditation workout!

Last week, my awareness clung to my dissatisfied and complaining mind as I broke a glass while trying to finish drying my hair in a rush. I felt like I was in a tunnel of negative emotions. You see, my nephew from London and my two kids were waiting downstairs for breakfast, yelling “MOOOOOMMMM” every chance they got (Yes, even adult children do that).

My mindfulness practice from last week of “Look UP!” came to the rescue. As I looked up and took a breath, my three adult children were standing in front of me! Within a few minutes the mess was cleaned up. All I did was observe the magic!

My eyes teared up, and my heart was full of gratitude and appreciation. I had entered the present moment with openness, curiosity, and a willingness to be with what was. That’s the classic definition of mindfulness!

This is why I’m dedicated to learning and facilitating the practice of mindfulness. It shows up in what might seem like the “little stuff” of life, highlighting the importance of bringing our awareness to the present moment. This does not happen magically, of course! It happens when we believe in, commit to, and practice mindfulness in daily activities.

Join me every Monday and today from 8:00 - 8:30pm for Session 7 of practices from How to Train a Wild Elephant by the brilliant Jan Chozen Bays MD. Together, every Monday, we learn a little about mindfulness, practice a little guided meditation, and take away a practice for the week to build our mindfulness muscle. The side effect is a more peaceful and calmer life, leading to peaceful and calm relationships with ourselves and our loved ones. Each practice stands alone. You won’t feel like you’ve missed out. Best part: IT’S FREE!

Mindfulness Meditation Monday:

We’re in session five of our 8 week How to Train a Wild Elephant practice group -- bringing mindfulness into our daily activities. Last session’s practice of “Secret Act of Virtue” certainly challenged many of us! Thanks for your shares on our WhatsApp group. Pivoting to the new practice of “Noticing Smells” was certainly fun and applicable with more ease in daily activities.

There’s a quote in a Hindu scriptures that says, "The secret of your future is hidden in your daily routine". It's a no-brainer then that as we commit to inviting mindfulness into our daily routine, we build mental wealth and good health for our future. So please join me tonight for the unveiling of another surprise mindfulness practice that we can weave into our week ahead.

You can also access all previous sessions for FREE -- bit.ly/TOG-mmm
See you tonight at 8pm PST.

Now, here’s the challenge we are facing. As we watch video after video on social media, our spiritual mind-set is certainly evolving, but not many of us are invested in a “practice”—a commitment to sit in meditation (or quiet) to experience the wisdom teachings of the inner world. Our differences in personality lead to another issue: Many of us cannot find calm or quiet in our minds, and that keeps us at the evolution stage. Practice is what infuses transformation. And if we cannot sit still to practice, the question is how do we bring wisdom teachings into our daily lives?

Evolution happens in a group, community or as a humanity. Transformations require a form — an individual commitment.

This is why I’m such a big advocate of informal mindfulness practices, which bring the wisdom perspective into our daily life.

Last Monday, we had a stellar turnout for week 2 of the “How to Train a Wild Elephant” Practice Group. In this 8-week experience, together, every week, we commit to a particular exercise that assists in bringing mindfulness into daily activities. There’s a particular peace in a formal meditation practice where we dedicate a certain amount of time (daily or otherwise) to observe the ebbs, flows, and pauses of our mind. But it’s a whole different experience to practice informally by paying attention to the activity of the moment.

To find out what’s in store for this week, you’ll have to join us!

Can’t wait to see you tonight

A warm hug to each of you on Mindfulness Meditation Monday. It is my intention to send out good vibes in the universe as often as I can. It’s a difficult time (again!) globally, and we need each other’s positive frequencies to build our collective resilience to traverse this time together.

This week’s practice is going to be fun and challenging! It is a session that you’ll want to bribe your kids to join! I

See you tonight!

Mindfulness Meditation Monday: it’s time to grow to the next level. Bringing mindfulness into your daily life—your informal practice—has equal benefits in building your mindfulness core. In my experience, bringing mindfulness into my day-to-day activities has been life changing, especially on days that my formal or sitting practice is missed or when my mind feels like a wild elephant!

I wasn’t kidding about that! For the next eight weeks, I’ll pick my favorite exercises from this book, and together we will learn and grow. I highly recommend purchasing a copy of this book so that you can deepen your understanding and your practice. Parents, you will have a blast inspiring, sharing, and challenging your children and families to join in.

We will begin our first session on Monday, August 9, at 8 pm PST. Can’t wait to share this space with you!

On Noticing and Leaning into Growth

Let’s explore this in our Mindfulness Meditation Monday tonight. I’ll be sharing what I had committed to and find myself bypassing now. Let’s take this 30 minute session to explore what was beneficial for your mind, emotions and bodies during the pandemic and how you can allow it to flow into your life as you renter the busyness.
