Mindfulness

This means being able to live in the moment. Now, be

present and aware of your current feelings, surroundings, and thoughts.

Give gratitude to the Universe and speak of all the things you are grateful for now, and remember to be thankful for this very day!

Mindfulness isn’t only for people with anxiety and depression. Anyone can benefit from unplugging and being present in the moment.

The editors from TIME put together the guide “TIME Mindfulness” to help explain the science behind mindfulness and its benefits.

The word "Namaste" in Hinduism means

"I bow to the divine in you". This word is powerful and helps you unleash your full potential on your spiritual journey. I believe it is very important to end your yoga, prayer, and meditation sessions with powerful words to seal the deal. Take a moment and sit in a comfortable yoga position and breathe and say each word below...

My soul honors your soul.

I honor the place in you where the entire universe resides.

I honor the light, love, truth, beauty, and peace within you because it is also within me.

In sharing these things we are united, we are the same, we are one!

Namaste
