The Mindful Self

The word “mindful” generally means being consciously aware of something in the present moment, with attention and intention rather than distraction.

My understanding of the term “Mindful Living” and the practice of mindfulness is simple: to remain aware, live consciously, and move through life with good intentions.

I try to follow these guiding principles in my life:

• Present-moment awareness
• Compassion, empathy, and forgiveness
• Self-care and self-love
• Practicing silent meditation and breath work meditation
• Simple, slow living, with occasional indulgences in experiences that bring heartfelt contentment, such as travel 

Additional methods of maintaining equilibrium:

·  Sound bath sessions as and when possible

·  Listening to soothing instrumental and also invigorating instrumental music

·  Cooking and baking

·  Reading books that guide me in my mindful living practice

·  And remaining content knowing life is mysterious
