Why watch The Mindfulness Movement now?
In this time of so much uncertainty a mindfulness practice is more vital than ever. Focusing on the present moment with self-care practices will be both life affirming and life sustaining. The Mindfulness Movement will support each of us as we engage with these ideas:
➔ What are the ways I physically and emotionally take care of myself?
➔ Do I have reliable strategies to deal with stress? What are they?
➔ How do I maintain a sense of calm and wellbeing in my relationships with others?
➔ What does it mean to lead a more conscious life?

Use mindfulness to go beyond relaxation as described by:
Barry Boyce, editor of Mindful magazine: You get some relaxation which allows you to look deeper, and that becomes a way of having a more direct and authentic engagement with your life and with other people.
Combine mindfulness with another practice demonstrated in the film by Sharon Salzberg called METTA, or loving kindness, to increase compassion for yourself and empathy for others in order to deepen relationships and your connection to the world by repeating these phrases:
May I be Safe, Be Happy, Be Healthy, and Live with Ease
May you be Safe, Be Happy, Be Healthy, and Live with Ease
May all beings be Safe, Be Happy, Be Healthy, and Live with Ease
