Greetings! Welcome to the Mindful Living website. I hope you find it informative. Our mission is to share the gifts of mindfulness in the Houston area. I encourage you to explore mindfulness and find a class or event that helps you develop the ability to live with greater awareness, ease, and compassion.
What is Mindfulness?
Mindfulness practice includes mindfulness meditation (also known as insight or vipassana meditation) and the cultivation of open-hearted awareness of one's present-moment experience. The principles of mindfulness are fundamental to many traditional meditative practices and are non-sectarian in nature.
Mindfulness
Benefits
The practice of mindfulness is beneficial for people experiencing anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and physical symptoms related to stress or disease. Through mindfulness we can see clearly, accept, and gain freedom from the suffering brought on by our automatic thoughts and assumptions. We can experience the joy of being fully present in our lives, learn from difficult times, and be open to compassion for ourselves and others. More on mindfulness benefits...
The range of what we think and do
Is limited by what we fail to notice
And because we fail to notice
There is little we can do
To change
Until we notice
How failing to notice
Shapes our thoughts and deeds.
