Mindfulness

Mindfulness. It’s certainly a word being handed around a lot lately. So what does it mean?

I’m beginning a 8 week practice to see if I can find out. My doctor recommended a training session, which I went to last night. We actually did a 20 minute meditation session as part of the beginning training. And now, in usual fashion, I’ve bought a book so that I can read all about it. And downloaded an app to my iPhone.

I do need a way to be more present in my life, more aware of what is actually going on around me, and less distracted and occupied with the many worries that surround me at the time.

My image from last night – is the beautiful blue sky with a cardinal flying across it. More about that later.
