Maria Kahn Guided Mindfulness

12/02/2022

Most of our stress is happening in our minds as we travel between point A and point B.

12/01/2022

Ask what is happening, not why?
The why may help you understand what makes you tick, but it doesn’t stop the ticking.

11/30/2022

The body is our message center. It informs us of how we are relating to what is going on around us and within us.

11/29/2022

Feeling stressed? Notice if you are focused on the past-what was or the future-what if's.

Shift your attention to what is.

Beautifully said.

"Self-compassion is not a form of positive thinking that somehow seeks to replace negativity or deny its existence. Instead, it holds the negative in a caring manner and thereby allows us to open to the full spectrum of our unfolding, ever-changing lives with authenticity." 🌈

Here are the top 5 reasons people fail at establishing a consistent meditation practice.
1. They intend to "find" the time but don't.
2. They believe they are doing it wrong if their mind wanders and quit trying.
2. They try to get to some special state or place and don't.
3. They use it only as a reaction to stress and blame meditation often saying "it doesn't work for me".
4. They try to learn without proper guidance.

If you can relate to any of these and still want to try establishing a practice, I can help. I am offering 2 FREE weeks of guided group practice; in-studio or virtually. Next session begins May 30th. Enter discount code STUDENT to take advantage of 2 free weeks of guided instruction.

It was warm enough to sit outside for my morning meditation. What a gift to be present to the sounds and smells of the season change.

Always grateful that I have such a beautiful space for my practice

04/08/2022

On my recent trip to California, I set an intention to reground in my spiritual practice. I did not set out to attain anything; I used my mindfulness practice to be open to how that intention might unfold. I took some time to meditate at the top of a mountain in Joshua Tree. As I sat in the beauty of the landscape, breathing in and breathing out, the face of Gandhi began to appear. At first I could not believe my eyes, but as I sat in awareness, the image gradually became clearer and clearer. I felt the blessings of all of my spiritual teachers all at once. It was an overwhelming experience.

I am grateful beyond measure for my mindfulness practice; to be awake and aware enough to receive this gift.
