Mindfulness Meditation |  | |
Mindfulness is the energy of being aware and awake to the present moment. It is the continuous practice of touching life deeply in every moment of daily life. To be mindful is to be truly alive, present, and at one with those around you and with what you are doing. In learning mindfulness meditation, we bring the body and mind into harmony while washing dishes, driving the car, or taking a morning shower. With the support of a community to practice with, we can cultivate peace and joy within and around us, as a gift for all of those for whom we love and care.
