We find endless inspiration in @jefffosteroffical 's writing and insights. Instead of banishing the feeling or the thoughts - what if we turned towards them with compassion (even when that is in itself a bit scary)? Instead of striving to be someone else - what if you embraced who you are, now? What freedom could you find when those old stories are seen as children in need of a cuddle, rather than to be banished to dark, locked rooms? This Sunday night our Mindful Living session will explore our relationship with Dark, Anxious Thoughts. Come join us for meaningful conversation from 7pm - 9pm at a hosted venue in TECOM. Link in bio or email info@mindfulme.me Sometimes it can feel easier to begin with a person you can sit with and speak to - without any fear of judgement. Our individual sessions are here to support you in exploring what is happening for you now in a safe space. Kristine is in Dubai over the summer and available for sessions near City Walk from Mondays - Fridays. She also runs a support group on Tuesday mornings for mindfulness practitioners (new and old) to join together in compassionate and curious community. Email info@mindfulme.me for details or to book a session with Kristine this summer. . . . . . . #mindfulness #mindfulme #mindfulnessdubai #mindful #mindfuluae #mindfulnessindubai #dubai #uae #jefffoster #quoteoftheday #quote #wisdom #wisewords #inspired #truth #love #compassion #anxiety #meditation #meditateuae #meditatedubai #authenticliving #mindfulliving #presence #mydubai #dubailife #gentle #consciouscommunity #community #communitydubai

We all have found ourselves immersed in an activity and the hours fly by without us even realizing it. That is mindfulness. The delightful experience of being fully present in our experience. Dancing, painting, drawing, yoga…are all deliciously mindful activities. In this experiential workshop, we will play with journaling as another kind of mindful activity. When we write anything (even grocery lists) we are immediately and simply in the present. When we write, we can’t be anyplace else but in the experience. Writing simply places us effortlessly in the present moment. Journaling, at its core, is a practice of deep listening to ourselves. Journaling requires no experience or even any ‘talent.” Just a willingness to be present for ourselves with gentle inquiry. We will use a variety of materials, mediums, and prompts and learn playful, nonjudgmental ways to use words, photos, art, collage, and Mandalas as a door to self-understanding and self-compassion. All materials will be provided, and everyone is welcome. Come and join us and our much-loved community member and guest teacher Lynnette Harper on Sunday, 15th July. AED200 for drop-in or join our Mindful Living membership for discounts 15th July from 7pm - 9pm The workshop will be held at a hosted venue in TECOM We encourage you to register soon to secure your spot Email Alfie on info@mindfulme.me or whatsapp him on +971 54 466 8400 to register LINK IN BIO #mindfulness #mindfulme #mindfulnessdubai #journaling #creativejournaling #writing #uae #workshop #dubai #mindfulnessindubai #mindfulnesspractice #mindfulliving #community #consciouscommunity #summerindubai #reflection

What a beautiful message for this Friday - of loving ourselves into wholeness. Not judging, improving, fixing, changing, forcing or pushing - just loving. Radical means: "relating to or affecting the fundamental nature of something; far-reaching or thorough". What powerful acceptance we can have when we embrace ourselves with compassion! #mindfulness #love #tarabrach #mindfulme #quote #quoteoftheday #qotd #radicalacceptance #wholehearted #iamenough #dubai #uae #mindfulnessindubai #mindfulnessdubai #meditationdubai #meditatedubai #community #consciouscommunity #delightinbeing #perfectionism #acceptance #imperfection

This excerpt from @jivamuktiwithdina is featured on @keepeatreal blog today as the world celebrates International yoga day. @jivamuktiwithdina is partnering with us for a special series of workshops on Sep - read on for more details: ☄❤ It can sometimes feel like there is so much expected of us in life. From what we should wear, how we should act, how we should succeed, to how to be a better mother, partner, or daughter. Yoga teaches us that while we can have preferences, these titles are not who we are. They don't define us, because in fact we are so much more. We've been trained to think they are, but in fact the moment you begin to peel back all those layers is the moment you begin to start to tap into a potential that is not limited by any constructs - physical, social, mental or emotional. That's where yoga and your practice really begin to expand. Being on our mat means being with our thoughts and ourselves, fully, in all our forms - learning to love them, accept them and work through them. For one hour or more we have nowhere to be but with ourselves, our baggage, our fears and joys. It's a journey inward, an involution to find our true selves every time. In this way, yoga literally becomes a practice ground for life. By learning to stay focused, calm and balanced while working through challenging poses on the mat, we start to use the same techniques to help us off the mat. ❤☄ If you have ever been curious about beginning a practice, or want to learn more about how mindfulness practice and yoga are connected - book your spot to come join us & @jivamuktiwithdina on Tuesday nights (7pm-9pm) in Sep as we not only learn how to move and reconnect with our bodies but also how this practice supports, develops and nurtures a mindful life. Through movement into stillness ❤ Email info@mindfulme.me for more info or to book your spot Pic: @stephnektar and @jivamuktiwithdina

"no room for problem-making"....our thoughts and ego create stories (and often problems) for us - and they can feel like heavy burdens to carry and tend to. When we practice mindfulness we learn how to create space between us and these thoughts - emerging from the dream of thinking into awareness. Our next Mindful Living workshop (1st July) will explore the Dark, Anxious Thoughts that cloud our vision and what changes when we bring our awareness to them. We would love to see you there! 7pm - 9pm Sunday 1st July Hosted Venue in TECOM AED200 or join Mindful Living for discounts LINK IN BIO #mindfulness #mindfulme #mindfuldubai #mindfulnessuae #mindfulnessdubai #mindfulnessindubai #mindful #meditation #meditatedubai #dubai #uae #eckharttolle #quoteoftheday #powerofnow #anxiety #thinking #workshop #consciouscommunity #curiouscommunity #delightinbeing #qotd #quote #quoteoftheday

"There is a teaching that says that behind all hardening and tightening and rigidity of the heart, there's always fear. But if you touch fear, behind fear there is a soft spot. And if you touch the soft spot, you find the vast blue sky. You find that which is ineffable, ungraspable, and unbiased, that which can support and awaken us at any time." - Pema Chodron Sometimes it can really help to sit with someone as you courageously reach out to touch that fear, to massage out those tight spots. We would love to invite you to have someone hold safe and non-judgemental space for you. Kristine, Helen, Kirsty and Laura are available for individual 75min sessions. Email Alfie on info@mindfulme.me to find a time that works best for you. #mindfulness #mindfulme #mindfulnessindubai #mindfulnessdubai #dubai #uae #pemachodron #wisewords #quote #quoteoftheday #qotd #inspired #present #meditation #meditatedubai #meditationdubai #community

With soft hearts we can perceive the gentle beauty in the world around (and within) us, and when we witness and appreciate that beauty - our hearts soften - a powerful circle. When we let go of the struggle (sometimes it's really tough - but even the "toughness" can be part of our acceptance) we discover that we are already in this place of ease and joy. Because when we turn toward the battle, instead of fighting the fight, we reveal it's birthplace of care and noble intention. We find that place before the judgement of "not enough" kicks in and understand instead why we want to strive in the first place. We see the battle as an effort to belong/contribute/care/love and be loved. And from this view we can love it - and ourselves. And in doing so - let it go and be open to what is happening here. With a softer heart. Have a beautiful Monday! We look forward to welcoming you with soft hearts tonight at Mindfulness practice from 7pm - 9pm or come and be part of our Tuesday support group from 10am - 12pm for only AED50. Email us on info@mindfulme.me for more info or to book your spot. #mindfulness #mindful #mindfulme #mindfulnessindubai #mindfulnessdubai #letgo #jackkornfield #wisewords #quoteoftheday #qotd #quote #inspiration #inspire #heart #community

ARE WE RELIVING OUR PARENT'S STORIES? Join us tomorrow night for a conversation about conditioning - about how the responses and reactions we have to much of our daily life comes automatically from a deep unquestioned place within us. Have you ever thought about your conditioning and the impact of this? Here are a couple of definitions: Conditioning: * Ways of making a person behave, especially by influencing the way they think. * To have a significant influence on or determine the manner or outcome of something. How does this relate to your parent’s stories about their lives and experiences, and about you and your life now? There is so much to learn about our own conditioned responses that can help us live more truly and deeply in our own choices. Come and enjoy a meaningful evening together on Sunday, June 17th. AED200 for drop-in or join Mindful Living membership for discounts 17th June from 7pm - 9pm The workshop will be held at a hosted venue in TECOM We encourage you to register soon to secure your spot Email Alfie on info@mindfulme.me or whatsapp him on +971 54 466 8400 to register pic credit: Wikicommons - Peter Dowley (Dubai) #mindfulness #mindfulme #conditioning #dubai #mindfulnessdubai #mindfulnessuae #mindfulnessindubai #workshop #curiouscommunity #community #camels #mindful #mindfulliving

What ordinary moments have you uncovered joy in today? What are you grateful for? Perhaps a cup of tea? A conversation? A lingering glance at someone you love? Spending time in your favourite room? Laughing with a friend? Finding stillness between the thoughts? As Jon Kabat-Zinn says - "Those little things. Those little moments. They aren't so little". Happy Friday! . . . . . #mindfulness #mindful #mindfulme #dubai #mindfulnessindubai #mindfulnessdubai #meditation #meditatedubai #quote #quuoteoftheday #mindfulnessquote #brenebrown #joy #delightinbeing #ordinary #extraordinary #moment #present #uae #inspire #inspiration #wisewords #gratitude #grateful
