Bringing Mindfulness to Life
We rarely pay our breath much attention as we move throughout each day. With mindfulness practice, we return our awareness . . . again and again . . . to the breath. The most important thing one SHINE participant learned recently was “that my breath is very helpful when I want to relax.”
How might our country be different if we greeted everyone we meet by honoring the greatness within them? The practice of honoring greatness within ourselves and others, borrowed from the Tibetan greeting Tashi Deleh, is the first Key to Mindfulness in the SHINE program.
We are celebrating the completion of the first phase of our inaugural two-year Facilitator Training Institute. The second phase of the program will focus on the SHINE program at the Women’s Housing Coalition. This phase allows the Facilitator Trainees to observe and directly participate in an on-site program with the residents. YOU can be an important part of this exciting new phase.
