How To Develop Mindfulness During Stressful Or Uncertain Times

Women In Wellness: Anne-Marie Emanuelli of Mindful Frontiers On The Five Lifestyle Tweaks That Will Help Support People’s Journey Towards Better Wellbeing.

Pay attention to the positive aspects of our life. Our brain is wired to pay more attention to negative aspects of life. This comes from when survival was human beings’ main concern. By paying attention to the positive, we move our thinking from the limbic brain (fight, flight, or freeze) to the frontal cortex which is responsible for cognitive thinking and decision-making. When we are mindful, we are using our meta-cognition and we can be more aware. Published on Medium, December 9, 2021.

Inviting and Welcoming Silence:

Have you ever just stopped what you were doing and listened? Deeply listened to the sounds and silence around you? Seems like an oxymoron to be encouraging silence and listening. The kind of silence I’m referring to is one where we are mindful of what is going on in the present moment, encouraging a deep…

Make mindfulness part of your child’s daily routine

August 19, 2021 published in The Taos News

By teaching meditation to young children, stress-reduction skills will be implanted in their brains early, and as they grow and mature they will be able to practice in times of stress. It’s a social-emotional learning skill that has long-term benefits. According to studies cited by Mindful Schools, some of these benefits include “enhanced attention & learning skills, social & emotional skills, and resilience.” Bringing mindfulness and meditation into our family’s daily routine is a healthy skill that helps us deal with life’s challenges.

Pandemic Fatigue? Transformation, a New Lifestyle and Raised Consciousness are Within Reach

Published on Thrive Global 2/21/21 – Over the past year of social distancing, remote work and reconnecting with home, the practices that have improved my wellbeing are mindful meditation, physical exercise, and equanimity.

Mindful Meditation Brings Hope in Times of Uncertainty

Published on Thrive Global 3/3/21 – Contemplative and reflective practices are ways to welcome hope back into our life. Mindful meditation guides us in navigating difficult experiences with calm introspection and balanced outward equanimity. Whether you’ve tried once and couldn’t sit still or you used to meditate and let the practice go, now is a wonderful opportunity to bring hope into our uncertain world. Start here and now; one breath at a time.

Published on Thrive Global 2/21/21 – Equanimity is a well-being practice that brings mental calmness, and composure, especially in difficult situations.

Meditation Practices for Active Minds and Busy Lifestyles

Published on Thrive Global 2/21/21 – Mindful meditation is an insight practice in which a focus anchor is used: the breath, sounds, body, walking can all be used for present-moment awareness. Basically, that’s what mindful meditation is: bringing full attention to one thing in the present moment. By doing so repeatedly and routinely, the body and mind learn to relax and settle into the moment. We call meditation a practice because it takes repetition and commitment. Just because someone “tried it once” and couldn’t settle their mind isn’t a reason to give up. Like any healthy habit, we have to practice to achieve mastery.

Mindful Meditation Can Reconnect Families

A pre-bedtime meditation routine for families is a beautiful way to finish off the day.

Published on Thrive Global 2/21/21 – A fun and effective pre-bedtime meditation is the “Body Scan”. Children of any age can practice the following body scans. It would be helpful at first for the parent to provide guidance until such a time when the child is confident enough to do the guidance for the group or silently for themself.
