Wow, y’all. It has been quite a few days in the world, especially the corner of it that I live in…these are interesting, challenging and important times to be a mindfulness practitioner, and not just for the reasons you might be thinking (personal sanity, for one). Yes, a mindfulness practice can help to center you […]

This week, we took a moment away from the world of applications, interviews, admits (and denys), new classes, and old clients to debunk one of the greatest myths about meditation: that you need an empty head to walk away with a peaceful heart. I mean, my head’s not empty – is yours? Heads are never

You know how it feels to think about absolutely nothing? To have your brain completely cease producing thoughts, and your mind just empty out? Yeah – LOL. Me neither. Because it can never actually happen, not even during meditation. But, “how do I get my thoughts to stop?” is probably the number one question I
Where’s your head at? Read More »
Kind of a sweet sentiment to start off this winter week, but it’s actually more than a just a pretty idea. Ask someone who’s ever seen one of their dreams come true, and they’ll tell you they believe in magic. They may not say so explicitly, and they will probably also talk about the value

This week, our topic was decisions…or more specifically, the age-old battle between head and heart that often occurs when we are faced with tough ones. The question on the table was to what extent you allow each to be the boss when it comes to your deliberation process. Do you heed your intuition, or are

Hi there! Hope your week was a good one, maybe with a little less monotony than usual after our earlier post this week on making your “grind” more mindful. Your mindfulness challenge this weekend is about making exactly that happen, ICYMI. It’s a simple task this weekend, but it takes some effort. On your way to

If there’s a phrase I have heard most during these first few weeks of 2017, it’s probably not “Happy New Year,” but something more along the lines of “back to the grind.” After weeks of downtime (family, binge-watching, sleeeeeep), turned-up time (friends, parties, travel), and maybe even some alternative work on that second job you’ve
I love a good party, and I am never one to turn down an excuse to turn it up and step out in something fierce. In the absence of such an opportunity, I am more than happy to curl up on the couch and tune in to see some beautiful people show us how it’s

Everybody loves a sure thing. Risk is uncomfortable, and scary, and sometimes even illogical. Nobody likes getting hurt, looking stupid, or worst of all, feeling regret. So when it comes to venturing into the unknown, we get – well, you know – clingy. We don’t so much mind the reaching out part, but we want to
