Beginning Mindfulness Meditation

(Photo credit: holisticgeek)

When beginning my path of mindfulness, I was lost as to where to start. It was always something that I could read about in books and talk about with friends. I was missing one of the most important aspects of practicing meditation and mindfulness- Practice.

When I started looking into meditation- The first thing I wanted to do was to be a monk, guru, or other type of spiritual teacher...Instantly. At that point I knew very little as to what it meant to be mindful, even though I could define the term in eight different ways. Little did I know that the path of mindfulness is one of awareness and spirituality in one.

The purpose of this blog is to crystallize what it means to live mindfully and to help people find mindfulness in their lives.
