There is an entire Eastern psychology which views your mind as inherently full of potential, and able to be trained through ongoing practice.

This is what Mountain Mind Project meditation programs are based in. This psychology resonated with the athlete in me and left my mind feeling wise and adaptive, instead of deficient or disordered.

As the social organ of the body, the brain is constantly changing and reconfiguring from internal and external conditions —whether you want it to or not. We can leverage that quality of neuroplasticity through specific meditation practices to optimize change in ways that support our resilience and performance.

“Clarity is created through the process and with clear goals, fresh insight and an embodied connection to oneself.” - Colin Boyd

describes what it’s like to join him on a Flow Immersion for Men. In his words “men who have gone through this immersion often leave and take bold steps that drastically transform their lives”.

Learn more about Colin’s coaching process by listening to the conversation we had with him as a Guest Trainer on our IGTV “LIVE Guided Meditation” Series.

As high performers and achievement-oriented, successful people we often forget about the need for rest. Conversely, when we are feeling stuck, movement can help shake up new thoughts of creativity and insight.

Listen to your body, and see what it needs at this moment. How do you find the balance between rest and movement?

"...Meditation is a practice of resilience. We say the healing is in the return, not in never having wandered to begin with." -Sharon Salzberg // Do you tell a story about yourself when your mind wanders in meditation? // Perhaps that you’re a good meditator/or not… that this one was a good meditation/or not. // Bringing goal setting to meditation can be counterproductive. // The wandering nature of our attention is a result of the default mode network in our brain ie. our minds wander about 50% of the time as their normal default. // Mindfulness meditation asks us to change how we think about and treat ourselves, when we notice our attention wandering away from an anchor like the breath. // That then shifts our relationship of how we react and treat ourselves when other things in life happen that are out of our control. // The point of mindfulness is not to stop thoughts, it’s to change your relationship to thinking and everything else.

 

Tomorrow! Join Mountain Mind Project founder on Wednesday July 27th at 11am MST for an Instagram Live Guided Meditation. Sasha will be joined by Guest Trainer: Colin is a Former Freeride World Tour Snowboarder and Flow Coach, leading Flow Immersion Experiences for entrepreneurs, athletes and executives to discover their own values, purpose and goals for maximum impact in their personal and professional lives.

At every moment in his life and unbeknownst to him, Colin built a high flow lifestyle out of instinct by pulling flow triggers and always living just beyond or way outside of his comfort zone.

Now Colin coaches a framework to deliberately maximize flow.

Colin and Sasha are also excited to announce REALM: A Meditation and Flow Retreat. Forged by and for outdoor athletes, this three day retreat will take place October 2022 just in time for a fall reset. Join us tomorrow to learn more!

We are so excited to have Colin join us in an Instagram Live Guided Meditation on Wednesday. See you there!

"Wilderness, in contrast with those areas where man and his own works dominate the landscape, is...an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain." -Wilderness Act of 1964

Today and everyday, we celebrate public lands and the role they play in supporting our communities, locally and globally.

We continuously reflect on the concept of wilderness, ideas of being a human visitor or a guest, and being a human intrinsically connected to, dependent on, and caring for the natural world.

What are you discovering in your reflections about the natural world and you?

We invite you to a home mindfulness practice in acknowledging and appreciating the outdoor space around you.

When we say “the outdoors” we literally mean the world outside your front door and windows.

To us, “the living world” or “the natural world” means the splash of green houseplant, grass pushing through the crack in the sidewalk or feeling of a cold wind on your skin.

We don’t tend to call the outdoors/living world “nature” because that feels like something separate and “out there”.

How do you connect to the natural world, each day, right here? (Wherever in the world you are).
