How to be mindful while falling in love

“‘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. read more

Wisdom of a Mother: the back broadens to match the burden

What do you gain from life’s challenges? My life seems so tough at times.

Do your friends and family think you are crazy?

What is this mindfulness stuff? a mental state achieved by focusing awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting one’s feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations. Calmness and an inner peace arrives with this state.

How do you focus on the present moment? There are many techniques. Meditation is popular but a walk in the park, painting or colouring are good too.  I recommend painting a soul map as your brain responds to the symmetrical pattern.

You were once so different; perhaps your life values were different for example; career driven at all costs, you valued big houses and expensive cars, or perhaps you were too shy to do what you wanted to do with your life.  You felt happiness in some way eluded you.  You did not have a sense of satisfaction with your life. read more

Be kind to yourself, you are not a magician and we all try to do our best.

Be happy with yourself if you have made the choices you felt were right.  If you find out there are better choices, change what you choose to do.

Associates

As the saying goes ‘Variety is the spice of life’.  When you are seeking to understand the world you live in, your place in it and who you are; variety of approach is good.  By trying different approaches you might find that one gives you greater insight than another.  However many people find it difficult to find authentic people who can show them their approach.

I have spent the last 20 years seeking out such people.  Below are people I have either worked with , been their student or their client.  I have found them helpful in my personal development. Of course you need to decide if they are right for you. read more
