Meditation is the mindful practice of connection to something that is greater, vaster, and deeper than the individual self.

It is a means to engage in self-reflection and connect with elements of the unconscious mind.

Guided meditation can be practiced individually or in group. Both provide a pathway to deeper breathing and a journey to inner peace and the practice of mindfulness

.

Mindfulness is a type of meditation in which you focus on being intensely aware of what you’re sensing and feeling in the moment, without interpretation or judgment. It involves various techniques to help the body relax and ultimately reduce mental and physical stress.

A.L Forbes Consulting incorporates sound bowls and sound healing in the Guided Meditation practice. Sound bowls, also known as singing bowls are placed around the room, around your body, or on your body to facilitate the healing practice and Mindfulness.

Some key points about the practice of Mindfulness:

Being Present: Mindfulness encourages you to be fully present in the here and now. Rather than dwelling on the past or worrying about the future, the focus is on the present moment.

Awareness of Sensations: During mindfulness practice, awareness of sensations, thoughts, and emotions is heightened and should be embraced without judgment.

 Breathing Methods: Breathing techniques play a significant role in mindfulness. By focusing on deep and intentional breathing, you can calm your mind and promote relaxation.

Guided Imagery: Visualization exercises are used to guide the mind and create vivid mental images, promoting relaxation and stress reduction.

Benefits: Research supports the effectiveness of mindfulness for various conditions, including stress, anxiety, pain, depression, and insomnia. It can also improve attention, decrease job burnout, and enhance sleep quality.

To practice mindfulness, consider these simple exercises:

Pay Attention: Engage your senses fully. Be intentional in daily activities. 

Live in the Moment: Approach each activity with open, accepting attention. Find joy in simple pleasures.

Accept Yourself: Treat yourself kindly. Love, accept, and embrace your authentic self.

Focus on Breathing: When negative thoughts arise, sit down, take a deep breath, and focus on the breath moving in and out of body.

Even a few minutes of sitting and breathing mindfully - taking deep abdominal breaths and pushing out the air, can make a difference. Practice deep breathing and mindfulness 10 minutes each day and start feeling the benefits to your body, mind, and spirit.
