Hi everyone. My practice could do with a boost, so I'm glad I've found this tribe.
From the Book - Wherever You Go, There You Are by Jon Kabat-Zinn
Think of yourself as a mountain.
Try setting aside a time everyday for just being. Start with 5 minutes. Sit down and watch the moments unfold, with no agenda other than to be fully present. Use the breath as an anchor to tether your thoughts to the present moment. Your thinking mind will drift here and there, depending on the currents and winds moving in the mind, until at some point, the anchorline grows taut and brings you back. This will happen alot. Bring your attention back to the breath, every time the mind wanders. Think of yourself as a mountain.

Has anyone made themselves a mindfullness space at home? I am looking to do this and just wondered what people have developed, what works for them and not etc before I start on mine! Thanks :o)

I have done this before. I try to do something like it regularly, but I have yet to be as consistent with this as I am with mindfulness or vipassana meditation. It's very powerful though, and there are some great spin-offs aimed at cultivating sel...

HI! I am glad to find this tribe. I have found tribesports to be great to motivate me and get me to exercise regularly. I bet belonging to this tribe will remind me to take time out to meditate as well.
