Living from a spacious place inside

What is Mindfulness?

Mindfulness is a way of regulating our nervous system by paying attention to our experience in this moment with curiosity and kindness instead of judgment.

​​This simple practice of noticing and accepting what is happening inside us and around us gently shifts our nervous system out of it’s more reactive states and into a state of greater openness and ease. 

​We are more present and attentive, can navigate difficult thoughts and emotions with greater equanimity, and choose more skillful responses to what life throws our way.​


Integrity requires that I choose life-giving ways of relating to the forces that converge within me: do I welcome them or fear them, embrace them or reject them, move with them or against them? ​-Parker Palmer
