Living on Purpose Through Mindfulness
Mindfulness is a practice of being purposefully aware of ourselves and being fully present in the moment. Through practicing mindfulness we become fully attentive to where we are, what we are doing, and how we are feeling in the moment. Mindfulness is a way of developing deliberate consciousness.
Practicing mindfulness improves mental focus and memory, reduces stress, calms emotions, and fosters healthier interpersonal relationship.

The Power of Intention
“Hold the intention!” We have all heard, been asked, or said the words. Most often though, Intention involves a momentary thought or transient prayer. We sometimes follow-through, thinking transiently about the intention, but usually not. When intention is set in this way, it is merely a wish, thrown aimlessly into an ocean of the subtle realms.
Mindfulness Monday ~ Non-striving
Non-striving (I call it non-doing) requires that we let go of our agendas and ideas of what has to happen. We still need to manage the details of our day-to-day life. But, as we master non-striving, the focus of life becomes more about our being and less about our doing.
Mindfulness Monday ~ Patience
Practicing patience in mindfulness calls for us to slow down. It requires that we watch, wait, and we observe the circumstances that are unfolding. The conditions of the unfolding then help to determine the right time to take action. This slowing down and practice of patience can be challenge, especially in fast-moving demands of everyday life.
Mindfulness Monday ~ Trust
Trust begins in our body When we pay attention to and trust what our bodies are telling us, we open ourselves to a well-spring of subtle information. Begin practicing trust by listening to your body. Listen to its tension. Listen to its aches, twitches, and impulses. Recognize and acknowledge what these hold for you in the moments throughout the day. What does your body communicate during difficult conversations, decisions, or interactions?
Mindfulness Monday ~ Non-attachment
This week’s Mindfulness Monday focuses on Non-attachment. Attachment has its basis in desire – whatever the focus of that desire is. We acquire tangible property and ‘stuff’, or we experience attachment to a particular cherished ideal, relationship, or established ways of thinking. Most often we are not conscious of our attachment or the reason for it. Holding-on condemns us to living a constricted and imprisoned life. Think of a dog who is kept chained in a yard. He is not free to roam and explore as is his true nature. No chasing squirrels or birds. He can’t follow the scent of a favored human, or other pet. Instead, he is tightly tethered and forced into routine and conformity. He may be safe and out of trouble, but he is not exploring a world that is wide, open, and dynamic.
