Aligning Being and Doing

Amy Bloom Connolly on April 16, 2014

Before jumping into, “What do I need to DO today?” you might like to begin with a practice of inquiry around the question, “How do I want to BE today? How do I want to show up, for myself and others?” Taking a few moments to connect with your purpose from a sincere place of deep intention aligns you what is truly important in your life. In this way, your doing flows more naturally from your being.

Mindful Listening and Speaking

Amy Bloom Connolly on March 7, 2014

In my work at the PACT: Helping Children with Special Needs program, I’ve been guiding twenty staff through a SHINE program. Our goal is to integrate mindful awareness practices into the work of this group of diverse and dedicated clinicians. As a way of learning and practicing mindful listening and speaking, we share and use these Native American Council Guidelines in each of our SHINE sessions.
