Mindfulness with an Edge

The purpose of this meditation practice is to slow down and listen to the messages the body is sending us regarding recovery, healing and athletic performance.  Regular formal body scanning practices teach us to automatically tune in to the felt sense of the body and hear  the messages it sends. When we learn to do this naturally we can respond to what the body is telling us In the moment - if we are capable of more intensity OR recognizing if  something  is out of balance and we need to proceed with caution.  If we don’t hear the feedback the body sends or we ignore cues regarding a need for recovery and healing we run the risk of more serious problems later on.

This meditation is designed to help you recognize your inner strength and your inner capacity for performance in sports.  It invites you to turn towards your mind and heart in relation to your current and future sports performance.  

This meditation is designed to help you be aware of thoughts as they occur.  When we are aware of our thoughts, as just thoughts, we are then consciously able  to appropriate actions that are skillful and serve our heart. That  is the ultimate purpose of a Mindfulness Of Thoughts practice.

When you notice thoughts are happening, you can see common patterns of thought without being caught in them.   You can  step out of the story the thought tells and choose which thoughts to hold and which thoughts  to let go of.    A Mindfulness Of Thoughts practice reminds us that thoughts are things. They are not us. They are real  but not necessarily true. Thoughts are have no power  except what we give them. 

This meditation is designed  to help you identify limiting thoughts and beliefs that may impede performance.  At times we can all  get caught in a story that holds us back or a there is  a belief outside of our awareness that keeps us from moving to the next level. We could desire different results in sport, a job, weight management, a relationship, health, our financial situation and so many other things.  When we can recognize thoughts and beliefs that hold us back we can turn toward them, look them up and down, investigate their power, and skillfully begin to release their grip. Today we consider your future role as a quiet professional.
