Resources for you
Mindfulness community and education
Reach out if you don't see what you need
A reminder that practice does not have to be formal. You can use many of these small mindful practices regularly or when you need them.
Daily mindfulness opportunities
- Begin the day with sitting, a walking practice or a body scan (guided or unguided).
- While waiting for a taxi, train, or bus take 1 minute to pay attention to your breath, hands, or feet.
- Pause, relax, breath and practice the 3-step breathing space between tasks, projects, or jobs, before beginning or before entering a meeting, or before a difficult phone call, email, or conversation.
- As you turn your computer on and off to start or end your day, pay attention to your body's sensations.
- Use a cue at your desk as a reminder to take a regular pause, breathe, observe, and then act.
- Pause, relax, or release any tension you are aware off as best you can. Accept what is present with kindness and care.
- Experiment with being with your breathing or body sensations instead of looking at your phone when you are in the lift.
- At least once a week, change your environment and observe how this makes you feel for the rest of the day.
Self-practice
“As many times as I forget and catch myself charging forward…that many times I can make a choice to stop, to breathe and be, and walk slowly into the mystery.”
- Danna Faulds, Walk Slowly

Let's connect
Join me for Mindful May, a month of mindfulness practice. I'll be offering weekly guided meditations, daily tips and inspirations, and I'll try to answer some of those hot topic questions about mindfulness and meditation. Whether you are new to meditation or wanting to restart your practice, this is a simple way to explore and practice together in May.
