Hack Mindfulness for the Busy People – Dance in and out of awareness – Transformation through Breath

from From Slow to Flow · host Secrets with Julie Spark

🤔 ABOUT THIS VIDEO 👇   Mindfulness for the busy people. Do you think it’s possible to incorporate mindfulness into your busy life, while you’re on the go?  What is mindfulness? It is cultivating present moment awareness, realising that you are distracted by your thoughts, which is inevitable, And certainly not a sign of failure. Noticing your distraction is mindfulness. Congratulate yourself for it.    The best part is that mindfulness can dramatically improve your busy life. You must purposely make an effort to practice mindfulness. But it is scientifically proven to have benefits from a very wide range of common difficulties.   I like to compare it to that moment where I’m sitting on the beach watching the sunset listening to my favourite music. I bring awareness to my experience in a purposeful and particular way, without judgement nor defence, with open curiosity and acceptance.    Everything is a question of perception. Two similar objects appear differently because of the difference in the mind that perceives them.   I am fully present in the moment. I’m not judging, or evaluating. I am not reflecting back on memories, I am not looking forward to foresee the future, I’m not trying to problem solve, or avoid any unpleasant aspect of the present situation. It is like a microscope, clearly presenting what is there. The now, not referring to the past, nor the future.   It is the part of the brain that acknowledges what is, and how it is. It includes the process of thinking itself, it is a part of you that knows,  and that is aware that you are thinking: it is you.  That part does not produce opinions, thoughts, nor judgements. It simply notices, it is the part of our mind that is called our observing mind, also known as awareness. Awareness always has space for the most troublesome thoughts, and the strongest emotions. It somehow knows that sooner or later the weather will change. Your awareness is a little like the sky. While the thoughts and emotions are like the clouds, or the weather passing through. I like to remember the sky is never overwhelmed by the weather conditions. There is enough room for the strongest storms, even for most ferocious hurricanes. EXPLORE Close your eyes for the next 10 seconds, start noticing and acknowledging all the sensations in your body. What is it you’re sitting on? Are you lying down or standing? What sensation do you have when your bottom meets the chair, or the bed. The sole of your foot, on the floor, or inside your shoe... Curiously explore, I feel the sense of touch of your body touching the surface. Acknowledge the sensation, hold it in your awareness, and then focus your attention on it. Let go of any judgement  that would come up on your mind linked to the exercise. It might help to close your eyes. 📚 READ THE BLOG POST 👇  https://juliespark.com/read-listen-and-watch/ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬   🗣 TALK TO ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA 👇   Instagram ► https://www.instagram.com/askjulie.spark/ Facebook https://web.facebook.com/groups/3513656715525197/ Linked In ► https://www.linkedin.com/in/julie-spark-ba1287a/ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬   💻 MY PRODUCTS & COURSES 👇  www.juliespark.com/programs DISCLAIMER: The information contained on this YouTube Channel and the resources available for download/viewing through this YouTube Channel are for educational and informational purposes only.  This description may contain affiliate links.
