Resisting Resistance – Embracing Change
I’ve got to be honest. I resist autumn. I just never want summer to end. You’d think I’d realize that resistance does no good. Summer ends, every year, no matter what. So this year, when I started to feel that resistance bubble up – I thought – time to try a new approach. Let go. Release the tension. Relax into the present moment. Open my heart to exactly what’s happening right now.

Mindfulness Monday ~ Acceptance
Acceptance is translated in Latin as “to find rest in” and brings about calm and a peaceful mind. When practiced, the energy of reality offers a gift of a new way to experience everyday life. Acceptance presents us with a great open window. We can be stretched to grow, shift our frequency (find more positive responses) and explore other aspects of our coping mechanisms.
Inspiration – Practicing Non-Judgement

Virgo New Moon – Presence and Mindfulness
New moons constitute an in-breath. It’s a time to pause and reflect on where we are and where we wish to be. We set intentions, we ponder on what we wish to create, develop, make manifest. We consider any guidance we may have received at the full moon and make plans to act on what needs to come forth. At the time of a new moon the moon and sun sit right next to each other in the sky and they are always in the same sign.
Mindfulness for Beginners – The Beginner’s Mind
A beginner’s mind requires that we hold an intention and attitude that is open to what is present in the moment. The present moment is perceived as if for the first time and has never been experienced before. It is brand new and full of possibilities. With a beginner’s mind, we are freed of assumptions, expectations, and routine. This then opens us to a flow of intuition, creativity, joy, miracle, and wonder.
