Mindfulness
Mindfulness is paying attention, or focusing our attention to the present moment in a certain way. Mindfulness is research based, and has been around, for a long time having its roots in ancient times in many, if not all parts of the world.
So you be asking Why do that? I am present!. Or Well thats just commen sense.
Its always good to ask questions, no question is stupid or weird, in fact if human beings never asked questions, we never would have made it to the Moon, and Back!
So please keep asking your valuable questions, its how we learn.
Firstly Is Mindfulness right for you?

How to practice Mindfulness for beginners:
1. Find a comfortable place, that is quiet and where you will not be disturbed for the next 5 minutes.
2. Remind yourself, there is no goal, nothing to achieve, or create. Do nothing. This is not about trying to get something or make something happen.
3. You may close you eyes if you wish, however just begin by bringing your attention to your breath, this can be at your nostrils, or just watching your chest rise and fall.
Notice your breathing. Feeling your breath, as you inhale, and exhale. Follow your breath, as you breath in and out.
Notice your body, still and seated.
4. Notice any thoughts, emotions , or body sensations as the arrise. Notice whatever arrises. If you already practice Chakra Meditation, one energy centre at a time.
Just simply observing lightly any sensations, images without:
- labelling
- Judging
- Criticizing
- analysing
4. If your mind wanders, this is ok, just as soon as you notice, kindly guide your awareness back to your breath.
5. Notice your wandering mind. And be kind and loving to yourself as you return to your breath. Bring your awareness here and now, open your eyes when your ready if they were closed.
Notice any self judgement, and be mindful of this.
Because if you got this far, you have done just fine:)
6. Well done You!, because this is mindfulness.
Practicing mindfulness daily will strengthen your ability to be present here and now, with whatever arrises, inside or outside, pathing the way to a lifetime of peace, love joy and happiness.
And I wish you love, joy peace and abundance in all you do today.
Meditation and Mindfulness practices may improve your health and well being and find balance.
Meditation can help us to feel less stressed, and improve our health. The practice of quieting the mind, can bring ourselves to the present moment.
Mindfulnes means remaining present, it is a moment-by-moment awareness of our thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and surrounding environment, through a gentle, nurturing perspective. Being aware of our thoughts and tuning into what we're sensing in the present moment rather than focusing on the past or the future.
Overtime your perspective may change from doing things to being present and in the moment.

So how do you learn how to meditate?
If you would like to start one of the easiest ways to begin meditating is by focusing on the breath — an example of one of the most common approaches to meditation is: concentration, mantra and mindfulness. We offer classes to learn Mediation in Auckland NZ or Meditation for people who have been Meditating for some time and are interested in group meditation.
We would like to invite you to try a simple Three Step Guide for a Mediation.
1. Begin by finding a quiet place where you can sit comfortably with out being disturbed.
Bring your attention on the breath at the nostrils as you breath in and out, begin to sense a peaceful quiet place within you.
2. Observe your breath without controlling its pace or intensity.
3. Notice any emotions or thoughts or images without judging, or labelling them, just notice and allow them to just be as they are, as if they are like clouds passing by on a clear blue sky.
3. If your awareness moves away to a noise/thoughts/images, gently return your focus back to your breath at the nostrils.
Maintain this meditation practice for two to three minutes to start, and then try it for longer periods. Although our minds are not used to mediation, and this may be fustrating at first, with commitment to a meditation practice and an intention to relax, you would begin to settle and you may experience more and more calmer states.
