Seeing What Is

#mindfulness of nature ☺️… one of the loveliest affects of my mindfulness practice is appreciation. Appreciation, that is, of anything and everything that’s happening right now; noticing what’s in my environment, the people in it, my own emotions with their power and pulsing and varying waves. This isn’t to say I’m bathed in gratitude all day long. But by being present to my moment to moment experience (which is what it means to be mindful (#simples, right?) ✨) I’m present to what is… and when I’m present to what is, I can appreciate it.

This may sound too easy to be true, but the power of living within the present moment – as opposed to being lost in thought about the past or the future- is revolutionary. Being Here and Now is a transformational experience for the mind, body and nervous system and it changes lives.

If you’d like to practice some mindfulness, you can find guided meditations by following the YouTube link on my website ( http://www.elliepaskell.com ). Or find me directly on YouTube at Ellie Paskell Mindfulness.

All is Well (#andbreathe)

Today I lead a mindfulness session at @rochdalecouncil ’s Childhood Obesity Summit and was struck by the level of stillness we dropped into, after just ten minutes meditating. The sun shone and the breeze blew and We. Were. Still.

This is healing, my friends. In a world when we rush and do and ‘future trip’ so much of the time, coming into stillness – even for a moment – is a gift to us and the world. It’s a way to reassure our minds and nervous systems that everything really is okay. Yes there may be movement all around, yes my to-do list may be full, but in this Now I can breathe and be still and notice I Am Here. Simply. Being. And that everything’s okay. Yes, sweet one. In this very moment, everything really is okay #andbreathe .
