Effect on Emotions
I started in psychology because of my own anxieties. I wanted answers, that's why I got into analysis. That's why I pursued all this, I wanted answers.
Mindfulness has been the icing on the cake. I laid the foundation and found all the gears I had to get into gear and I've put myself into a better position to experience life.
Mindfulness now is the ability to take all of that and take that deep breath and really experience the wonder and the beauty and the excitement of life. It only gets better.
I learned through mindfulness, every day, every decade is better than the one preceding it. I'm so encouraged by life itself.
Thoughts on Breathing
The breath is so central to so many schools and orientations. The breath is that which we exist on.
It is everything that is of life itself. It is the embodiment, psychologically and physically of that which sustains us. As we focus on the breath, I think we touch something much deeper.

Effect On Emotions












Mindfulness enabled me to be open to look at what is called shadow emotions including shame or anxiety. I was then able to work through them and not run away.


One of the hardest emotions to feel is shame. I've carried my own shame and it's by being able to descend mindfully with presence into the dark that we are able to discover our sacred spark.


Mindfulness is really the ability to go In and be open and be curious to these negative emotions.












Thoughts On Breathing

Breathing is one of the important things that help us connect to our life force. We feel our life force in two physiological ways. One is breath, and the other one is the heartbeat.
If you look at many meditative practices, it's following the breath. It's calming and centering.
There is an underlying principle: what is spirit? The word spirit in Latin comes from the root, the animating breath of Life.

Bullying Story





















Regarding bullying, there are both sides. There is the bully, and then there is the victim of the bully.
The bully is probably bullying because they don't know how to be skillful in order to get what they need. They also have a sense of shame or weakness underneath them that they are trying to cover.
If they were more mindful, knew what was really motivating them, and addressed this inherent weakness that they're trying to cover up by being overly aggressive, then that would prevent them from bullying.

Effect On Emotions












Emotions are a funny thing. We all have ebbs and flows. I definitely have my highs and lows still. I think mindfulness has made me more aware of when I'm having a low or when I'm having overwhelming thoughts or even depression.


My mindfulness practice has helped me recognize that and get me into a better mindset more quickly instead of dwelling on it for days and weeks.












Thoughts On Breathing

I really enjoy box breathing. I almost modified it to be more of a triangle breathing. The idea is that I will breathe in for a count of 4, hold it for a count of 4, and exhale for a count of 4.
Just doing that for a repetition of 20 times can be a form of meditation.

Bullying Story






















Bullying is a huge problem in schools, and it always has been, probably even back when I was a kid. I think mindfulness can help with bullying. I can't speak out of experience, but I think it can help with emotional regulation.


If you get bullied, you may have a fight-or-flight reactive response. However, how you react could make the situation better or worse through emotional regulation.


With mindfulness you also are a little bit more self-regulated. You're more aware of your surroundings and aware of your situations.


This situational awareness can keep you out of situations where you could get bullied.

Mindfulness helps me to validate and interact with the energy.












Thoughts On Breathing

Your breath never leaves you. As a result, we always forget to access it because it's always in the now. So anchor into the breath.

Bullying Story





















I was called Natalie Bedard, retard. So you can imagine how that shaped my identity.
I'm biracial, also. I grew up in the northern part of Ontario, in Sudbury. So, going to school, my father wasn't around. I was not able to identify with my black side. Going into a school system and having trauma, my self-worth wasn't there.
At school, they couldn't understand why my IQ was so high, but my grades and tests were not. I looked at my biology, and I internalized it. But not so much that it limited me from moving forward.
It was almost as though I had some mindfulness. I was still really attached to my. curiosity and intuition.
