Mindfulness Mix of Anchors - Body, Breath, Sound,...

Calgary Mindfulness Weekly Meditation ·

2024/10/28

Greetings! Today we review a mix of the anchors we have reviewed so far in this season--the mindful body, the breath, sound, gratitude, and the body scan. We mix these anchors fluidly during today's practice, which requires great focus and self-compassion for returning to focus as the mind wanders. Don't you love that we are developing mental and physical discipline? Yeah! As you will see, awareness of all the senses required to keep track of these anchors is pretty consuming, and doesn't leave any

2024/10/20

Greetings! Welcome to our weekly Sunday meditation. Today we will use the "rampage of appreciation" strategy to anchor our practice, directing our attention to our private lives, appreciating our friends, family, homes, and also to our public lives, finding what we can appreciate in our work, professional or otherwise public lives.

Unconditional Love #5- The Body Has a Purpose!

Calgary Mindfulness Weekly Meditation ·

2024/06/30

Today we explore the idea that the body has a purpose in the giving and receiving of unconditional love. And good morning! Welcome to our final online practice of June. We will be meeting in various locations throughout the city of Calgary over July and August and are looking forward to practicing with you! This practice today arose during a conversation with a friend recently, where I said something like "The body has no meaning." She misinterpreted that to mean that I was critical of people who

Calgary Mindfulness Weekly Meditation ·

2024/06/23

In today's Sunday meditation, we explore thoughts and emotions that contradict our intention to align with unconditional love. What da heck does that really mean? Check with our feelings first: when we are joyful, peaceful, patient, positive & forbearing in times of darkness, able to be loving and forgiving, able to experience the behavior of others without feeling easily offended, attacked, insulted; able to control our tempers when provoked, feeling empowered to choose thoughts, emotions,

Father's Day Meditation - Honoring the Divine Masculine

Calgary Mindfulness Weekly Meditation ·

2024/06/18

Today is Father's Day here in YYC Canada, and in today's practice, we explore honoring our fathers, investing our intentions into embodying qualities of the divine masculine (creativity, nurturing, wisdom, caretaking, supporting the community etc). These are qualities all of us have regardless of gender. In a world where toxic masculine qualities are held in high esteem (such putting one's self first at the expense of the community, manipulating people and circumstances to maximize profit and power,

"We are not held back by the love we didn't RECEIVE in the past but by the love we're not extending in the present" Marianne Williamson - one of my favorite A Course in Miracles teachers! I can't recommend this important book enough; I have been a student & practitioner for about 16 years now...

Connecting to Unconditional Love in Meditation

Calgary Mindfulness Weekly Meditation ·

2024/06/02

Thank you for joining our practices during the month of May to support Mental Health Awareness month. Meditation is one of many important modalities for supporting mental health, and can particularly bring awareness to our thoughts and emotions. In today's practice, we explore a quote from C.S. Lewis, who is of course famous for his Chronicles of Narnia, but who also was a prolific lay theologian. He writes, "How to avoid God: avoid silence, solitude, any train of thought that leads off the beaten

Calgary Mindfulness Weekly Meditation ·

2024/05/27

Catastrophic thinking is not about dwelling on tsunamis and tornadoes, but about our chronically negative thought patterns that box us in to feeling trapped and stuck in whatever tough circumstances life has presented us. Today's practice, we explore the importance of meditation in identifying and changing catastrophic thinking--consistently negative thinking that derails us from taking actions that line up with our highest and best for ourselves and community.

Greetings! May is mental health awareness month, and meditation can be an excellent tool to support our mental health. It's easy to practice anywhere, anytime; it's free, and you can get pretty good benefit from even short but regular practices. The "fingers" on the "hand of mental health" I refer to in our practice today are Sleep & Rest, Food and Eating Habits, Relationships & Emotions, Exercise & Mindfulness of the Body, and Creativity and Pleasure. Each finger has opportunity for the

Calgary Mindfulness Weekly Meditation ·

2024/05/05

Greetings meditators! Continuing with our theme of identifying and releasing blocks to self-awareness. Often we don't like to admit qualities or thoughts about ourselves that seem "negative" or destructive, so we block awareness, and thus block compassion and self-awareness. In this meditation, we explore how to nurture the upward spiral of self-awareness and self-compassion.

Observing Negative Self Talk - Meditator's Way

Calgary Mindfulness Weekly Meditation ·

2024/04/29

In today's Sunday practice, we explore a question submitted by a participant in our group, regarding gaining traction on releasing negative self talk. From a meditator's perspective, we are not trying to fix or change anything while practicing, but observe what is, developing the skills of focus, attention and equanimity. Often we adult humans would prefer to distract ourselves from our painful thoughts and feelings with media, substances, work, or other unbalanced methods, as a coping mechanism

Fill My Bucket - Meditation as Self Care

2024/04/21

In today's practice, we notice and explore the pleasurable sensations we get from regular meditation practice. Far from being a waste of time, this is an important acknowledgement of the payoff we get from contribution our sincere heart, time and energy to this physical and mental discipline. Even infrequent meditators feel a slowing down, a feeling of being very present in one's body, the relief and gratitude of noticing things we normally don't give ourselves permission or time to observe and

Calgary Mindfulness Weekly Meditation ·

2024/04/21

Painful thoughts and emotions are a fact of life. Attempting to avoid or stifle these is impossible. Sometimes people want to use meditation to shut off painful thoughts and feelings. It works differently however; one of the side effects of meditation is increased ability to sit with our painful emotions and feelings, resulting in greater compassion for ourselves and others involved in our situation, clarity and a chance to respond reflectively instead of reactively.
