Mindfulness

"If we can honor that our dreams are infused with wisdom and healing, and turn towards them with this perspective, it can help us to open to a tapestry of empowering insights and understanding."

Amidst all of the joy and feelings of gratitude we experience around the holidays, it's inevitable that a little bit of stress finds its way into our lives between family dinners and stuffed shopping centers. We have compiled a list of exercises to boost our resilience to holiday stress, identify what is truly important and manifest those feelings of warmth we crave all winter.

In addition to giving thanks and expressing gratitude this month, we are also taking a moment to reflect on the power of rituals and consciously setting aside time for stillness, mindful movement, and meditating on the things in our lives that matter the most to us.

For the second in our meditation and mindfulness series, download a free mp3 file for a guided meditation and read an expert's guide to cultivating internal peace, simply by tuning into your personal truth.

Our new mindfulness expert, Vanessa Feils, equates finding your True Self to riding a bike: once you discover that sense of balance, you can always come back to it. Here's how to get there, with the help of an accessible meditation practice.
