Where are you shining your Internal Flashlight?

Imagine that you have an internal flashlight, and you get to shine it on whatever you want. You can shine it on the past, the present, or the future. You can shine it on everything that is bad, or you can shine it on what is good. Or you can do both. Shine it on what is here right now in the present. As you do this say to yourself in this moment right now, I see…, I hear…, I touch…, I taste…, I smell… Breathe after each and notice it. Let your body feel it. Focus on what you appreciate in the moment. For example, say it is a beautiful comfortable chair that is supporting you. Nothing is too small. This is not about looking for the big things. Notice without judgement. The mind notices and becomes your partner in this beautiful exercise. Your heart opens to what you are noticing in the present. Your consciousness changes.

Testimonial

Bev's Laughing and Breathing Belly Workshop for Children was one of the best I have attended. She has a gifted ability to gently connect with children and teach and share with them her techniques of belly breathing, rooting, mind vacations and laughter. These techniques soothe and calm them whenever they feel overwhelmed or anxious - be at school, home or before bed time. Whether you have an overwhelmed pre-schooler or a test-anxious pre-teen, Bev's approach works! I love that she gave parents the tools to model and share these fundamentals of meditation with their children. I would encourage families to take her course...your children will thank you and you will benefit from ways to keep yourself calm and allow wisdom in.
