Mindfulness Thoughts

Jacaranda view

The past few weeks I’ve been fortunate to be trained as a Mindfulness Facilitator at my place of work. I’ve learned so much under the guidance from Mark Joseph, (you can follow him on Insight Timer ‘Mark mindful-mentors’). Together with Mark and my fellow class mates, I have gained so much insight and I have this immense gratitude towards them all for the experiences and growth that was allowed.

The concept of mindfulness has been inspired by many. In our sessions, Mark always refers to the mindfulness definition of Dr Jon Kabat-Zinn – “Mindfulness is awareness that arises through paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, and as non-judgementally, non-reactively and open-heartedly as possible”.

I’ve jotted down some observations, thoughts, feelings and sensations that arose during my mindfulness sessions:

Acceptance of what I cannot change

Choosing to act in a positive way

Taking on peace finding the harmony

Nourishing my soul cherishing mindfulness

Holding on harnessing the power of love

Staying curious taking in knowledge to care

Learning to be better in all that’s good

Incorporating values of integrity and respect

I believe in God, love and life! Married to my friend, mentor and rock. We have been blessed with two beautiful girls. My personal journey provides opportunities for me to empower individuals to lead better lives. I have had a real desire to work with people for a long time and have always been fascinated with human behaviour and understanding how the mind works.
I love the following quote by H. Jackson Brown, Jr. “Remember that children, marriages and flower gardens reflect the kind of care they get”

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings!.. if everyone shared your thoughts and feelings this world would be a better place for everyone!!.. and with your training you are no doubt following the thoughts of Mark Van Doren; “Any piece of knowledge I acquire today has a value at this moment exactly proportioned to my skill to deal with it. Tomorrow, when I know more, I will recall that piece of knowledge and use it better. “ (Mark van Doren).. 🙂

Hope all is well in your part of the universe and until we meet again….
May the sun shine all day long
Everything go right, nothing go wrong
May those you love bring love back to you
And may all the wishes you wish come true
May your troubles be less
Your blessings be more
And nothing but happiness
Come through your door
(Irish Saying)
