Mindfulness is about being fully awake to our lives. It is simply defined here as the ongoing cultivation of an open and receptive attention to and awareness of what is occurring in the present moment. We ALL have the ability to do this.  It is part of our legacy of being human.

What you will find here on any given day is:

• Researched information about the latest discoveries in mindfulness/science research
• A variety of guided meditations
• Inspiration from all corners of the globe
• Reviews and recommendations on the resources available to you
• Personal reflections on living more mindfully

All of this is an ongoing invitation to stop with intention, to drop in on yourself, to remember who you are.  The essential you, not your roles or responsibilities, but what is most intrinsic.

You may be just embarking on this journey or have been on the path a while, but beginners we all are, bringing curiosity to each moment as it unfolds.

So, for right now and however long you’d like, see, with all your senses, what AND who is here.

Welcome.

About me: With a personal 27 year mindfulness practice, a  master’s degree in contemplative practices (which basically means I have some knowledge about how different traditions and cultures practice meditation), and training at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center, I engage with the science and practical applications of mindfulness in order to make these life giving practices accessible to everyone. I lead workshops and retreats for individuals and organizations and teach courses in mindfulness for stress reduction and to gain better focus, clarity and overall health and well-being.  As the founder of AWAKEN Wellness Resources, it is my hope to be able to provide these tools to you wherever you are on life’s journey.
