Mindfulness

Healing Rituals

We unconsciously, or consciously, perform rituals throughout our days, throughout our lives. At birthday parties we make wishes while blowing out candles, without letting anyone in on what they are (otherwise they don't come true, right?). At weddings we exchange vows and rings to seal the deal. At graduations we wear special garb and celebrate transitions.

In Tibet, and elsewhere, we hang prayer flags asking for good health, love, abundance and peace (for ourselves, our family, our community, our ancestors).

Although we often participate in rituals as a community, there is power to reach your dreams and goals in solitary healing rituals.

Rituals bring our intentions, dreams and goals to the surface; rituals help keep our attention on what we'd like to manifest.

FOMO vs JOPMA

FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) is a new phenomenon. JOPMA is an even newer term for a very old and wise way of being.

FOMO is related to the anxiety some social media users experience because of all the possible events they could be attending .

JOPMA is the peace that comes with being fully aware and with the present moment.

Which are you choosing right now? FOMO or JOPMA? Fear or Joy? Which do you want more of in your life?

Forgiveness: Is it Always Right or Required?

Learning to forgive has changed my life. No one was more surprised by this change than I have been. Forgiveness allows greater compassion, peace and joy.

I began this journey into forgiveness when I was designed a course, The Psychology of Forgiveness. The main message of the course was how mindfulness can become a gateway to forgiveness.

What would your world look like without the anger, resentment and self contempt that not forgiving (yourself or another) creates?

What would your world feel like with greater movement towards your life dreams and goals? This is what forgiveness allows.

Mindfulness Heals Denial

Being in Present Moment Awareness, experiencing Mindfulness, (through meditation, journaling, being in nature, making art/music, anything that truly brings you into this moment), reduces stress, increases joy.

Stress is an inside job, your perspective, your Internal Map of Reality (IMR).

Want to know the steps to re-framing your Internal Map of Reality (IMR), breaking free of denial, and reducing stress, and increasing joy?
