    Guided Meditation: Mindful Breathing
    Sep 22 2021
    Mindful breathing will help build a foundation for mindfulness. Becoming aware of your breath allows you to connect to the present when you feel overwhelmed. Slowing down to reconnect to your breath, will open the door for you to become aware of racing thoughts and negative emotions. As a result, you’ll have the power to slow it down. Whenever your mind starts to drift you can focus on your breath to regain awareness of thoughts and environment. When you’re able to take control you can feel your body start to relax, as a result the anxiety you feel will drop. During mindful breathing, the insula and the anterior cingulate cortex (a region of the brain involved in moment-to-moment awareness) activates, allowing us to become present of ourselves and environment.  Episode includes mindful breathing exercise.

  • Mindfulness Techniques Pt 1

    Mindfulness Techniques Pt 1
    Aug 11 2021
    When I started my path on mindfulness meditation I was nervous because I thought it was going to be difficult to practice and I was concern I wouldn’t be able to dedicate time to practice it. As it turns out, it’s actually very easy to practice and can be easily integrated in your daily activities.  This is part 1 of 2 episode will explain techniques used in mindfulness: Driving, Eating, Breathing, and Movement. In the next episode, I discuss Progressive Muscle Relaxation, Listening, and Object Focus mindfulness. I hope this will help you on your journey to living a happier life. I created Kilo Misfits to create a community for those who "never fit in." I want your voice heard. If you can have questions and comments please reach out.
