What is Mindfulness

Mindfulness is the practice (not the perfect!) of resting a very kind attention in the present moment. The object of attention may change. It could be breath, body, thoughts, emotions, compassion to others, gratitude. But the effect is a greater capacity for joy and connection, and a greater resilience in the face of challenge. 

What is Meditation

Meditation is the formal practice of mindfulness. It is the "workout session", so to speak, to train the muscles of mindfulness. We are habituated to multi-task and to speed up. When we stop to meditate, we notice.There are many forms of meditation from many traditions. They train the mind in presence and clear seeing.

Inclusivity Message: I recognize that both nutrition and meditation spaces may not feel like home to people of color, sexual and gender minorities, and other minoritized communities. My mindfulness training includes racial, ability, and gender awareness training. It is my intention to be welcoming and inclusive to all, and in my fumbles and stumbles, to take in feedback. Contact me any time with feedback.
