Hi ladies, as some of you may know, I am finally graduating from my 2-year Mindfulness Meditation Certificate course. I think it’s one of the best things I have done… and as part of the practicum requirements, I am looking for participants for a 4-week course (45 mins / week), where you will learn mindfulness tools and techniques that are used by global corporations and schools.. with one minor twist…

...It is going to include games and interactive activities.

I designed this online course to share mindfulness in an easy and fun environment, so that participants can learn tools that are simple to use and replicate in every day life.

It is interactive, it is light but also go deep. It focuses on the experience itself.

It will be offered on Zoom and if you cannot attend all four sessions live, you can watch recordings (but must be there for the first or second live sessions). It is complimentary. 

Let me know if you are interested in joining.

I feel like it is a bit hard to find the right tone, because I am not exactly selling and it is meant to be a supportive group of entrepreneurs so being genuine is important. Feeling a bit vulnerable though about sharing with them I really need participants to join me so that I can graduate :D Alright, we will get there, I will send them in the morning.

The other day I finally remember

Why have I been drawn to this work

Of emotional awareness and mindfulness

The question I have always wanted to answer to is:

How do we invoke people’s compassion?

How do we stop bad things from happening?

How do we remind them that there is a side inside of them that is compassion, loving and emphatic?

Because I know there is kindness in each of us

We are all born kind, loving and caring.

Look at babies and young children.

It’s only when pain, suffering (and maybe mortgages) come into our life, 

We get too busy to feel or find joy again,

We feel numb

And we become cruel.

My work, a lot of times, is to help people reconnect with their emotions

To bring awareness to what they have been avoiding to feel to the point of numbness

To bring light to the darker side

To be a guide to their inner landscape

Because

When you finally face the emotions that you have been avoiding to feel

you also can feel joy

And when you are connected to your emotions,

You begin to generate compassion to yourself

That is how you can begin to empathise with others

And for an animal lover like me

That means a more conscious world

With more kindness towards each other, animals and all beings

More conscious and sustainable way of living 

Less suffering, less loneliness, less cruelty

That is my hidden agenda

I feel that it's kind of cheesy, will shorten it before I post on Instagram. But it's been a long time since I wrote a post so any start is a good start.
