Dear students of The Mindful Path, In our fifth session, Moving Mindfully, we talked about how mindfulness isn’t just something that we practice while sitting still, we can pay attention, and bring ourselves to the present moment even while we’re moving! We spent some time on the formal practice of mindful walking. For some, this may feel like a nice reprieve from the thought that a formal practice requires us to sit still for lengthy periods of time. We also discussed some ways to help you stick with a consistent formal practice. Here are a few key highlights from the session: Practicing mindfulness doesn’t need to look a certain way—we can be mindful even when we’re moving Establishing a formal practice is critical—it’s how we rewire the mind to be more mindful in our everyday actions and behaviors
Actions for the week: Continue your commitment to a daily formal practice—either meditation or by intentionally finding activities that naturally bring you into the present moment Try mindful walking (or some other form of mindful movement)
You can download a PDF of the session slides as well as rewatch a recording of the session here. We look forward to seeing you again in a couple of weeks for our final session where we’ll summarize some of the key learnings from the program and pull it all together. With so much love and gratitude, Ryan & Jason Benz P.S.
