Abiding in the Dhamma | Mindfulness Muskoka Reactivity and suffering fall away when we rest in the open awareness of love, compassion, joy and equanimity. There is nothing to 'do' when we abide in the Dhamma. Together through mediation, reflection and contemplative dialogue we explore these divine abodes in our everyday lives.

Please take a moment while this is freely offered to watch. It is so important that we understand the what, how and why of meditation both scientifically and experientially. It is not a panacea and yet offers freedom from suffering beyond most modern options. Most importantly meditation that leads to freedom is not simply relaxation, simply about feeling good. It is sometimes hard and sometimes offers profound peace. Both are exactly what they are and that is the practice. If it seems to easy it just might be. Don't go for easy go for real.

UmassPremiere — My Year Of Living Mindfully Overwhelmed with insomnia and an incurable autoimmune disease, Shannon Harvey needed to make a change.

A poem fro wise action:
Wise action . . . We stay.
For those of us that are doers we need to move, help, be seen and get things done and yet we pause and stay.
For those of us who are huggers we want to embrace, hug, comfort and love by touch and yet we pause and stay.
For those of us who choose alone, we yearn now to belong and be with and yet we pause and stay.
For those of us who are parents, we feel our flesh ache for our babes and grand babes and yet we pause and stay.
For those of us who are young, we must be free to experience life and breath and yet we pause and stay.
For those of us who are mature we are fearful and scared yearning for comfort and yet we pause and stay.
We pause and stay, we sit, we weep, we meditate, we pray, we sing and we wait for word.
We pause and stay home wishing for gladness and safety and that all beings are at ease.
We pause and stay for the welfare of all, weak and strong, those living near and far away.
We pause and stay home, wishing no harm upon another, radiating compassion.
This is what is to be done by one who is skilled in goodness, who knows the path of peace.
We pause and stay.

Mindful eating is learning to pay attention to what you are eating. Instead of mindlessly, putting food into your mouth almost unconsciously, not really tasting the food you're eating … you notice your thoughts, feelings, and sensations. ... The look, smell, taste, feel of the food you're eating. Join us March 28th and learn more.

PAUSE . . .

I don’t know about you, but I find it the hardest to pause when I am at my computer. The tide of tasks seems to keep rising, and the current pulling me along seems to only grow stronger. These devices should come with a warning: “Caution: Rip Tides!” What do you need to do to pull yourself away from the screen and today?

February classes are UP! Check them out.

Learn to be less reactive and more resilient with this simple meditation technique!

Join us Jan. 26th for the Live Well Event!

We seldom take the time to really gauge our hunger, focus on our food or even truly savour a few bites leading to eating when we’re not hungry, too fast, and choosing inappropriate foods. Changing the relationship to thoughts about food through mindfulness practices we learn to experience food as pleasure and nourishment while letting go of craving.
