From The Inner World

What and how we think affects how we behave. Have you ever thought about that? ✧
Practicing mindfulness changes the way the brain processes information.In other words, it regulates emotional reactivity.
A beautiful graphic example is the ✧ Chain of Life, which I will guide you through in today’s post.

• What I touch with my senses or mind, I feel.
• What I feel I perceive.
• What I perceive I think about.
• What I think about in my mind it proliferates.
• What I proliferate about I dwell upon.
• What I dwell upon it shapes my mind and I make life choices accordingly.
• The shape of my mind shapes my world.

Beginning to meditate can be a challenging and unimaginable practice for many people. Closing your eyes and just resting in the midst of everyday business can feel quite strange. However, it is possible to befriend this feeling and set up a regular routine, which will make it easier for you to get used to practicing meditation.

In the beginning, just a few minutes a day is enough, even such a short time can have an effect on prevention of conditions such as anxiety, depression, insomnia and stress.✧

Mindfulness cultivates heatlhy habits. There are intentional responses to particular situations in one´s life. With practice they become a natural approach. Mindfulness is one of the ways one can really begin to work on oneself. Seeing if its possible call mindfulness as a „ friend of our mind“, that support us in recognizing unhelpful habits and replace them with skilful ones which enable our life to flourish.✧
