Create a balance between doing and being now, in the present moment.

Recharge with these Mindfulness practices… Now. Mindfulness is essentially living with intention, by focusing on this moment… and what’s happening Now. Many of us show up for only some of the moments of our lives and mindlessly live through the rest. But we can learn to be present, more aware of ourselves and our environment, and not just live but thrive in this fast-paced high-performance culture.

Explore mindful self-compassion with an experienced practitioner who will guide you to recognize stress and learn to face it with a kinder more sustainable approach to life’s challenges. Research shows that Mindful self-compassion greatly enhances emotional well-being. It boosts happiness, reduces anxiety and depression, and can even help you stick to healthy habits such as diet and exercise. And it's easier than you think.

Let Dea’s extensive training help you arrive at the present, effortlessly. The place where breath becomes life. Nothing more. Relax … and let her secular meditations help guide you through this practice of increased awareness. It’s the difference between doing and just being in your daily life.

Imagine your initial broad awareness followed by a reducing of focus, then expanding once again -in the shape of an hourglass. This practice can be incorporated into the busyness of your day to provide a feeling of being balanced and centered.

Hourglass practice: start broad, reduce focus, then expand again - adds balance & centeredness to busy day.
