How Does Mindfulness Heal Emotional Distress
How Does Mindfulness Heal Emotional Distress
How does mindfulness heal emotional distress?
The practice of mindfulness teaches you a different way to relate to your thoughts, feelings, and emotions.

Making Mindfulness Make Sense
Making mindfulness make sense isn’t easy even though it’s not the least bit complicated.  The thing is, it doesn’t lend itself to words. It has to be experienced because mindfulness is a state of being. It’s not a thought, or a feeling or a doing. It’s being.
So what’s the big deal about being mindful? You get to live your life out-loud, fully entrenched in what comes through your senses and…
