How to Activate Your Inner Resources

...See more Hey all, I watched this video today and thought I would share it. http://www.mindful.org/activate-inner-resources/ [http://www.mindful.org/activate-inner-resources/] It is a couple of guided exercises that look at what inner resources are and how they relate to mindful living. An excerpt from the article: "Its not unusual to feel that the vital resources we need to live satisfying lives can be found in the outside world. This is certainly a constant trope for advertisers and marketers. Anyone who has experienced periods of depression or anxiety will also recognize the tendency to secure self-worth and wholeness through external gains and status. Few of us are immune to this siren song and when we let ourselves be guided to search externally we may overlook valuable capacities we already have. This video on cultivating inner resources for mindful living suggests what some of these capacities are and how they await our discovery through the simple act of paying attention." - Zindel Segal Hope you enjoy, let me know what you think

...See more Hey all, I have just been reading up about mindfulness and wanted to share some interesting benefits of practicing mindfulness in your everyday life. Being present in the here and now and focusing awareness on positivity does sound great but the health wellness benefits are really huge. - It is good for our bodies: studies show regular mindfulness practise actually boosts the immune system - It is great for our minds: increasing postivity and decreasing stress and anxiety - It actually changes our brains in a good way increasing the grey matter - It helps with memory and focus - It fosters compassion to ourselves and others - It enhances relationships- mindfulness training actually helps improve couples interactions - It reduces behaviour problems in schools - Mindful eating helps reduce eating disorders and obesity problems And this stuff is all backed up by empirical evidence. Crazy right?

Very helpful :)
It was one of the most insightful conversations I've had in a while and I actually felt relieved after letting go some stuff that I've been keeping to myself lately. Thanks a lot!
She actually listened, to all of it. And was so kind -- she made one of the worst and loneliest days of my life a good day
A very caring human being! I'm very happy and grateful to find her here today. Thanks, Ele, you truly deserve the best things in this life. Wish you all the joy! :) thanks for being so awesome

Brilliant, made me feel so much better. I felt totally comfortable and like I was actually being listened too!!!!!

Ele was good at keeping me calm while I was venting. It's magic that I feel better.
I feel like I have energy to push trough, even thought it is dark, there is light in the end of the tunnel.
