CULTIVATING MINDFULNESS
The pressures and pace that most of us experience in our daily lives, creates an ongoing sense of tension as we struggle to balance it all. We find ourselves busy doing, striving, planning, reacting and often functioning on autopilot. Living our lives in a chronic state of relative unawareness can result in missing out on much of what is most beautiful and meaningful in our lives. We may be physically present but mentally living in the past or the future and out of touch with the only moment we have-now.
Cultivating mindfulness offers an alternative way to move through our days. Mindfulness is about being awake in the present moment. The willingness to stop and be present leads to seeing and relating to life with more clarity and directness. In turn, this can lead to the discovery of deep relaxation, calmness and greater insight into ourselves. Paying attention allows for the possibility of choosing our responses to life’s challenging situations rather than reacting out of habit or fear.

PRAISE FROM MY CLIENTS
“Loved Paula’s calm and supportive demeanor. She is methodical, allows time for absorption and provides ample experiential opportunities. The slower pace and use of class time for guided practice and experience was really appreciated. The overall concept of mindfulness regarding all aspects of daily life- how I feel, my breathing, environment, pleasant and unpleasant experiences, and interactions with others- the heightened awareness is invaluable. I wholeheartedly endorse Paula and the program.”

Methodist Hospital
“Even though the MBSR class has ended, I continue with the Mindfulness practices. I was on “automatic pilot” a lot. I have learned to trust, be patient and to live in the moment. It is a wave like practice to reduce stress, how you view something (perception) and how you respond to it. I listen in the moment and I Breath, Breath and Breath. I miss the weekly class, but have the tools I have learned to continue to practice my meditation.
Bless you in the gift that you have to help others with the MBSR program.”
Judith
“As a result of taking MBSR I have gained an understanding that calm, peace, everything and nothing are all very much available to me. Paula is a great and wonderful leader. Your presence and warmth is the primary reason, I believe, that we all thoroughly enjoyed this experience.”
