Making Space Centering Practice

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
