 Mindfulness is about paying attention to the movement at hand without judging it . When we understand that everything in life is constantly changing this understanding and acceptance  is liberating in itself as then we don't lose energy in stressing ourselves about things which are changing .Thus in the variability aspect of life itself , we learn to nourish our selves with awareness of the moment .

 The concept of aligning ourselves in mind , body and spirit may seem theoretically simple but is practically difficult and needs dedicated practice.

But a simple effort of coordination of our breath and some gentle easy to do movements could  be a start  towards an integration of our mind body connect .

 Extensive research studies in the west have only reiterated what was practiced and known in the eastern philosophies that mindful awareness develops our mental faculties with higher concentration abilities, improves coordination skills and brings clarity in our movements in our lives ..

 Mindfulness helps us to spot out our unhelpful thought patterns and is able to make us break free from destructive and defeatist attitude and behavior  thus developing us for the better and healthier us .

Mindfulness sessions makes one calm, relaxed while improving  our blood circulation and energy  in the body We can surely realize then, that wellness quotient need not be about spending time slogging through tiresome gym workouts ,or even about extreme starvation diets  but it could simply be about using our mind to optimize our health with gentle moves for body mind  integration, thus adopting subtle  shifts of movements for the better .

 As we build on these small steps  we pave the way  for an attitudinal shift towards good health and optimism. ... Simple changes to our thoughts  thus can change our lives !

                                             

  No one is too small to make a difference .....

             Points to ponder...

 Where attention is .... energy is .

 Our life's memorable  experiences are based on that which we have payed attention to.

 We can shift attention by leading from the movement and thereby changing the thoughts ....

By observing that which we haven't seen, we can learn to see life itself as a gift

As we connect with others around us in a positive way ... we build empathetic awareness in ourselves and our surroundings....

WHEN WE CULTIVATE GRATITUDE ... WE LEARN THE ART OF POSITIVE REFLECTIONS.
