Brandi Matheson, Mindfulness Teacher

The ultimate goal.

As a mindfulness teacher and mental health advocate I believe that sharing the practice of mindfulness is a vital life-skill and a therapeutic tool. It benefits mental, emotional and the physical wellbeing of all of us.

If you are distracted, critical, resistant, overwhelmed or find that you’re reactive call me.

This is my heartfelt work and I can’t wait to share it with you.

Some ways we can work together:

I offer mindfulness-based training and education for adults, youth, workplaces looking for new and adaptative ways to enhance
mental, emotional and physical wellbeing in turbulent times.

An invitation to practice with me on this Friday evening 🤍

Have you been to my website recently? I’ve uploaded more guides practices for you all!!!! Let me know what you think.

I get asked a lot about the hummingbird on my website and branding. If you don’t know, the hummingbird symbolizes joy, healing, good luck, messages from spirits, and other special qualities.

To some, sighting a hummingbird signals that challenging times are over and healing can begin. To others, these tiny fliers are an inspiring sign of hope and good luck. Hummingbirds also can have a spiritual significance and mean the spirit of a loved one is near.

For all these and then some, I adore hummingbirds. Have you seen one lately?!

Repeat this to yourself as needed 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

Keep peeling back at what it really means
This beauty's too small to be true
It's all so calico
It's all the colours of the world unravelling in you

What do these lines mean to you? Something to ponder in your next meditation or questions to ask while journaling.

Remember, we aren’t setting out everyday to arrive at an ultimate destination. Instead, we are setting out to learn how to be - fully completely - on the journey while we’re on it. To become present and mindful in each moment, as it is.

There are many moments in our daily life when we cannot avoid or escape the unpleasant,
and are forced to bear what we oppose. Alternately, there are moments when we can’t hold onto what is pleasant and dear no matter how hard we try.

☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️

It’s okay to be bad at something and still enjoy it. To fail. To fall. To be messy. To be new.

An invitation to practice: is there something you’ve been wanting to try but haven’t gotten to? Carve out a few minutes to try. How does it feel?

☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️

Mindfulness of feelings teaches us how to let go, and to consider that ‘maybe "the exact feeling" we are searching for "is on the other side of this feeling".

When my teaching the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction program shifted to online learning in March 2020, I experienced a lot of internal resistance to the change and fear that something in the program would be lost. However, much like most I chose to roll with it the change, and began offering the MBSR program online.

Although, as we know face-to-face learning/interactions is truly irreplaceable, I have discovered many benefits to offering this program/practice of mindfulness and meditation online. A noticeable one is, people having the opportunity to practice mindfulness meditation in the comforts of their own home, which supports a more direct integration of the practice. Plus, no one can hear you if you unexpectedly catch yourself snoring in a practice ;)

Dear, dear friends: Today and every day , .🤗

Many thanks to the many moments in my life that have helped me learn a new way.

That sinking feeling that comes with a memory of regret doesn't need to send us spiralling into guilt and shame. We can remember the moments we wish we'd made a different choice and thank them for helping us learn a new way. ⁠

🙏🙏🙏

Patience.💙Persistence.💙Perseverance.💙
It's enough. It's plenty.

I believe this, dear friends:
Like developing any skill, training
the mind requires patience, persistence
and perseverance, moment by moment.

This!! 💕⁣⁣
A beautiful friend of mine sent this to me, and told me it reminded her of me 🤍 .realestate⁣⁣
I thanked her with tears in my eyes, thankful to be surrounded by women who actually SEE me.⁣⁣
I’ve struggled for a lot of my life to find a group of women that I wasn’t “too much” for.⁣
⁣
That loved me for who I was, and appreciated my “extraness”. I’ve been often misunderstood and left behind.⁣⁣
But that’s ok!⁣
⁣
Because it’s brought me here.⁣⁣
It’s brought me to the amazing women I get to surround myself with daily.⁣
⁣
It’s brought me to MY community.⁣
⁣
It’s brought me to 💕⁣⁣
I never changed who I was - I remained authentically me. All ways.⁣
⁣
Don’t ever change to be accepted.⁣
⁣
You’re beautiful the way you are 🥰⁣⁣
If you are looking for a supportive, loving, amazing, uplifting, powerful girl gang: we’re here!! And you can sit with us!! 💕💕⁣⁣
