How to be mindful while falling in love

Published by Alison Wem on

“‘Falling in love’ is an interesting term.  We could say ‘strolling into love’ or ‘mentally preparing for love’ but we use the term ‘falling.’ It’s almost like it’s we’re throwing ourselves off a cliff and falling without any hope of parachute or sense that we may get wounded along the way. It’s simply opening ourselves up to the experience and hoping the other person is also falling beside us.”

— Lodro Rinzler, author of the new book “Love Hurts” and co-founder of MNDFL meditation studio.
Try this exercise, it is really good.

Very Nice
How is it possible to love with mind but not heart?

    Alison Wem · 04/05/2018 at 14:05

    I agree with you Dineshh, love flows from the heart.
    Mindfulness is a state of presence where you reduce the endless chatter of your mind and enjoy the calmness of the present moment. ‘Mindfulness’ implies it happens in the mind but it is really about reducing the activity of the mind. In the exercise mindfulness is used to calm the mind so you can feel what your heart is telling you. I believe it is from your heart that you receive your personal wisdom.
    Hope this helps…

Sacred Spring Moments: Bringing Peace and Presence to Easter

Easter often arrives with a rush – colourful displays in shops, sugary treats, and a flurry of plans. But beneath the surface of the commercial noise lies something softer, older, and far more meaningful: a chance to return to the sacred in the simple. In the ordinary moments of life, there is magick waiting to be noticed.

You don’t need elaborate rituals or packed schedules to mark this season. The energy of Easter – of death and rebirth, of emergence and renewal – is already alive in the world around you. You’ll find it in the bud that’s just opened, the light that lingers a little longer in the evenings, or even in your quiet decision to rest and breathe before the next chapter begins.

Magick in the Everyday

This weekend, consider how you can bring more presence into the most basic acts. Take a walk in nature – not to exercise or reach a destination, but to be. Listen to the birdsong. Notice the smell of the earth. Let the natural world’s rhythm remind you that life is always unfolding with quiet grace.

Even the humble egg – so often overlooked – carries deep symbolism at this time. It holds the energy of potential, something not yet born but already promised. You might decorate eggs in your own sacred way, infusing them with intentions, colours, or blessings for the season ahead. Or eat mindfully, giving thanks for nourishment.

Moments That Matter

The magick of Easter isn’t about grandeur. It’s in the shared cup of tea, the heartfelt chat with a friend, or the simple joy of planting something and watching it grow. When we slow down and make space for these small, sacred acts, we align more deeply with the rhythms of life.

A Soulful Invitation

Let this Easter be a time of reconnection – not with a schedule but with your spirit. Ask yourself:

What do I truly need to feel renewed?

The answer may be simpler than you think.

  • Stillness
  • Nature
  • Nourishment
  • A few deep breaths beneath a budding tree.

There is magick in the ordinary. You just need to be present enough to see it.

How are you marking this Easter weekend? Have you found a little magick in your everyday life?

I’d love to hear how you’re honouring this season – whether through nature, ritual, or rest. Let’s celebrate the sacred in the simple, together.

Strengthening Body and Spirit: The Hidden Benefits of Fitness and Discipline

In a fast-paced world, physical fitness is often seen as a way to stay healthy and look good. But what if exercise could do more than that? What if it could also strengthen your spirit and deepen your sense of purpose? When approached with discipline, physical fitness offers incredible spiritual and mental benefits that go far beyond.

Building Discipline: A Path to Inner Strength

Consistency in physical fitness is a form of discipline, and discipline has a profound spiritual impact. By showing up for yourself, whether lifting weights, running, or practicing yoga, you cultivate self-respect and resilience.

Discipline teaches you to embrace discomfort for the sake of growth, a principle that mirrors spiritual practices like meditation or fasting. Over time, sticking to your fitness routine strengthens not just your body but also your willpower and ability to navigate challenges in other areas of life.

Movement as Meditation

Have you ever felt completely in the zone during a run or weightlifting session? That flow state – where time seems to disappear – is a meditative experience. Physical activity helps quiet the mental chatter, grounding you in the present moment.

Running, cycling, or even walking outdoors can become a spiritual practice when done mindfully. Focus on your breath, the rhythm of your steps, or the sensations in your body. In these moments, exercise transforms into a moving meditation, connecting your mind, body, and spirit.

The Mind-Body-Spirit Connection

Physical fitness bridges the gap between the physical and the spiritual. When your body feels strong and energised, your mind is clearer, and you’re better equipped to connect with your spiritual self. Exercise boosts endorphins, reduces stress, and creates a sense of inner calm that can enhance prayer, meditation, or introspection.

A healthy body also serves as a vessel for spiritual growth. Focusing on higher aspirations is easier when you’re not weighed down by fatigue or poor health.

Practical Tips to Blend Fitness and Spirituality
  • Set Intentions: Begin your workouts with a simple intention, such as gratitude or focus.
  • Stay Consistent: Approach your routine as a sacred practice, showing up even when motivation wanes.
  • Incorporate Nature: Exercise outdoors to connect with the earth and breathe fresh air.
  • Celebrate Progress: Acknowledge small victories as reflections of your growing strength—inside and out.

By combining physical fitness with mindfulness and discipline, you’ll discover a deeper connection to your spirit, proving that strength isn’t just physical – it’s spiritual, too.

Try any form of exercise you enjoy and see the lift it gives you

Clear Your Mind: A Practical Guide to Meditation for Men

Life can feel like a juggling act – work, relationships, responsibilities. It’s no wonder your mind might feel scattered or your focus lacking. Meditation is the tool you didn’t know you needed to cut through the noise and bring clarity to your day. And no, it’s not about sitting cross-legged in silence for hours. It’s practical, effective, and, best of all, easy to start.

Why Meditation?

Think of your mind like a muscle. If it’s constantly overworked without rest, it’s bound to lose strength. Meditation trains your mind to focus, helping you cut through distractions and approach tasks with clarity. It’s not about emptying your mind – it’s about learning to guide it where you want it to go.

Step 1: Keep It Simple

You don’t need incense or chants to meditate (unless you want to). Start small. Here’s a straightforward practice you can try:

  1. Find a quiet spot where you won’t be interrupted.
  2. Sit comfortably – on a chair, a couch, or the floor.
  3. Close your eyes and take a deep breath in through your nose. Hold it for a moment, then slowly exhale out through your mouth.
  4. Focus on your breath. Feel the air entering and leaving your body.

That’s it. Set a timer for 5 minutes to start. Gradually increase the time as it feels right.

As you increase your time, after five deep breaths return to normal breathing. Feel how the energy goes from your lungs down through your body and up to the crown of your head. Explore how your mind and body feels.

Even a few extra minutes can make a big difference.

Step 2: Handle Distractions Like a Pro

Your mind will wander – it’s natural. You’ll think about work deadlines, dinner plans, or that random thing you forgot to do last week. Please don’t beat yourself up over it. When you notice your mind drifting, gently bring it back to your breath. Over time, this “mental reset” becomes easier and spills over into your day-to-day life, helping you refocus on tasks more effectively.

Step 3: Add Purpose

If focusing on your breath feels too simple, try a mantra or visualisation. A mantra is a short repeated phrase, like “I am focused” or “I am calm.” Visualisation involves picturing a scene that brings you clarity, like standing on a mountain with a clear view.

Both practices can keep your mind engaged while reinforcing positive thoughts.

Step 4: Make It a Habit

The key to success? Consistency. Start by meditating at the same time every day – maybe first thing in the morning or during your lunch break. Think of it as part of your daily routine, like brushing your teeth. Apps like Headspace or Insight Timer can help guide you if you’re unsure where to start.

The Payoff
Meditation doesn’t take long to show results. After a few days, you might notice your mind feels sharper, tasks feel less overwhelming, and stress starts to fade. Over weeks and months, you’ll likely find you’re more present, productive, and at peace.

So why not give it a try? Just a few minutes a day can transform how you approach life’s challenges. Meditation isn’t just about sitting still—it’s about stepping into the world with focus, clarity, and confidence.

Start today. You’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain.
