Did Thanksgiving Get You Thinking?
Sometimes it's hard to remember what you're thankful for when your turn comes at the dinner table. Which is troubling when you know, deep down, life is good.
So how do you reconnect with your positive side? At the spa, we like to keep things natural, so to quiet a restless mind or release negative thoughts, meditation is a great solution.
Specifically, 'mindfulness meditation' is the practice of quietly focusing awareness on a physical or mental subject (eg. your breathing, an ambient sound, or a question) while remaining open to other thoughts and sensations.
Ideally, when you are able to remain calm and focused in spite of disruptions to your thoughts, your heightened awareness may bring moments of valuable clarity. If nothing else, you may feel relaxed and refreshed afterwards.
Select a setting for your meditation - whether walking or seated - that is conducive to relaxation. This could be your favourite room, your garden, a forest trail or an ocean beach.
*Information on meditation found at en.wikipedia.org.
Meditation Classes
Take some time to refresh and renew. Learn simple techniques you can use anywhere, anytime to obtain greater clarity, focus and peace of mind and heart. Can be done in the comfort of your own unit or enjoy a mindful walking meditation along the beautiful coastline.
