Practicing Mindfulness before Bedtime⁣ ⁣ Take a few minutes to pay attention to gratitude as you begin getting ready to go to bed. ⁣ ⁣ Try saying ‘thank you’ out loud and listing the opportunities you have had today to be grateful for. Quick tip – try be as specific as possible with your gratitude. Instead of saying “I’m grateful for my work”, can you say “I’m grateful that my work helps me connect with people in new ways”? Instead of “I’m grateful for my home” can you pinpoint why? Perhaps “I’m grateful for that feeling of calm I get when I open my front door and step inside”. Being specific helps us recognise these small moments for what they are – the big ones! ⁣ ⁣ Another gentle mindfulness practice before you fall asleep is to notice the weight of your body in the bed – no need to look for anything in particular – just feel the deep comfort that comes from being held by your mattress and blankets. ⁣ ⁣ #mindfulness #mindful #mindfuldubai #qigongdubai #mindfulmovement #mindfulme_dubai #mindfulnessdubai #mindfulnessindubai #dubai #uae #conscious #loveandlight #meditationdubai #community #workshop #growth #delightinbeing #explore #curiouscommunity #meditation #present #awareness #now #asyouare #qigong
"Meditation is offering your genuine presence to yourself in every moment" - Thich Nhat Hanh⁣ ⁣ Have you always wanted to establish a sustained meditation practice? Having the guidance and structure of a group - where you can practice, ask questions, and learn techniques - is a helpful way of beginning or deepening your meditation practice. On Wednesday mornings in May our beloved Laura will be hosting a supportive 4-week immersion on how to establish a grounded and transformative meditation practice. Laura's experience with meditation, reiki and sound therapy will make this a truly special programme. ⁣ ⁣ Remember - attending the 4-week workshop gives you unlimited free refresher sessions - so please feel welcome to join us in May if you have attended any Mindful ME meditation programme before - or sign up for this one now and know that you will have support long beyond the 4 weeks! ⁣ ⁣ When: May 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd from 9am -11am⁣ Where: Hosted venue in Meadows 1⁣ How: Reserve your spot by emailing Alfie on info@mindfulme.me or WhatsApp him on +971 54 466 8400.⁣ Investment: AED1300 per person for the full 4 weeks with unlimited refreshers.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #mindfulness #mindful #mindfuldubai #qigongdubai #mindfulmovement #mindfulme_dubai #mindfulnessdubai #mindfulnessindubai #dubai #uae #conscious #loveandlight #meditationdubai #community #workshop #growth #delightinbeing #explore #curiouscommunity #meditation #present #awareness #now #asyouare #qigong
The key to successful parenting is building an authentic connection with our children - this leads to a strong sense of self-worth for the child and a relationship where we are able to teach children how to manage their emotions, build resilience and develop relationship skills. ⁣ ⁣ Research tells us that vulnerability allows for a deeper, more meaningful connection between people and this connection is what leads to greater joy in our lives. Children are born vulnerable and our role as their parents is to create a safe space where they can continue to be vulnerable with us (particularly during adolescence), and learn how and when it’s safe to be vulnerable with others. Bringing vulnerability into our parenting can be difficult when most parents believe their job is to be strong, in control and have all the answers - yet this type of parenting doesn’t value vulnerability resulting in less connection and less joy.⁣ ⁣ This session will take a deeper look at what vulnerability is and isn’t, why we struggle with vulnerability and practical ways we can role model vulnerability for our children.⁣ Come join Jo and Helen for our "Parenting and Vulnerability" session on Thursday 25th of April (9am-11am), 📍Jumeirah Park.⁣ ⁣ #mindfulness #mindful #mindfuldubai #qigongdubai #mindfulmovement #mindfulme_dubai #mindfulnessdubai #mindfulnessindubai #dubai #uae #conscious #loveandlight #meditationdubai #community #workshop #growth #delightinbeing #explore #curiouscommunity #meditation #present #awareness #now #asyouare #qigong @mindfulparentinguae
New Mindful Living session about Loving Our Shadow Self.⁣ How can we learn to acknowledge, and discover our shadow self and learn to love this side of our being? ⁣ There is no growth without this, no forward movement, no deepening of our inner selves without this loving embrace. Here is yet another opportunity to take care of ourselves and learn from each other with this interesting topic. Come and share this time with us. ⁣ ⁣ When: Sunday April 21st, from 7pm to 9pm⁣ Where: hosted venue in Barsha Heights⁣ How: to secure your spot email Alfie on info@mindfulme.me or⁣ Whatsapp him on +971 54 466 8400. ⁣ ⁣ #mindfulness #mindful #mindfuldubai #qigongdubai #mindfulmovement #mindfulme_dubai #mindfulnessdubai #mindfulnessindubai #dubai #uae #conscious #loveandlight #meditationdubai #community #workshop #growth #delightinbeing #explore #curiouscommunity #meditation #present #awareness #now #asyouare #qigong
“When a mother working in the kitchen hears the cries of the baby, she puts anything she is holding down and goes to the room of the baby, picks the baby up and holds the baby dearly in her arms.⁣ We do exactly the same thing when the seed of anger and fear manifest in us; our fear, our anger is our baby. Let us not try to suppress and to fight our fear and our anger. Let us recognize its presence; let us embrace tenderly like a mother embracing a baby.”⁣ ⁣ Thich Nhat Hanh⁣ ⁣ #mindfulness #mindful #mindfuldubai #qigongdubai #mindfulmovement #mindfulme_dubai #mindfulnessdubai #mindfulnessindubai #dubai #uae #conscious #loveandlight #meditationdubai #community #workshop #growth #delightinbeing #explore #curiouscommunity #meditation #present #awareness #now #asyouare #qigong
Our conscious relationship workshop returns after the great feedback received from our participants, like this from Mona.⁣ ⁣ “The Conscious Relationships workshop really helped me understand the importance of nurturing a healthy relationship with myself in a safe, loving and non-judgemental environment. The workshop greatly focuses on a person’s relationship with oneself, the pre-requisite to any healthy relationship in life. It provided me with the right questions and tools to dig deeper and connect with myself to live life consciously with myself and others. Helen and the Mindful ME team fostered a loving warm space that enabled participants to safely share their thoughts and feelings about the various deep topics discussed. It is a great privilege to learn about self- love and relationships in a group setting where you get to learn from and share your experiences with other people and understand better that we are on the same journey”.⁣ ⁣ On April 23rd, come and experience the power and potential of group enrichment to bring awareness and growth to your relationships with our Conscious Relationship workshop. Each 3-hour session will place focus on different aspects of relationships.⁣ AED1300 per person or AED2000 per couple for the full 4 weeks programme (April 23, 30, May 7 and 14th).⁣ To secure your spot email Alfie on info@mindfulme.me or whatsapp him on +971 54 466 8400.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #mindfulness #mindful #mindfuldubai #qigongdubai #mindfulmovement #mindfulme_dubai #mindfulnessdubai #mindfulnessindubai #dubai #uae #conscious #loveandlight #meditationdubai #community #workshop #growth #delightinbeing #explore #curiouscommunity #meditation #present #awareness #now #asyouare #qigong

Today’s Mindfulness Practice: Receiving The gift of love 💕💐
Practicing Mindfulness while Driving⁣ ⁣ Many people zone out entirely when driving a familiar route. ⁣ ⁣ Before setting out, take a deep in breath and notice your posture. Soften into your seat and choose to drive in silence, noticing your surroundings, paying mindful attention to your body, your breath and to the actual moment. ⁣ ⁣ You may need to practice this over several days before you notice how your attention can remain present to your whole journey if you choose it to be so. ⁣ ⁣ We are looking forward to hearing your experiences with this simple but powerful mindfulness practice.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #mindfulness #mindful #mindfuldubai #qigongdubai #mindfulmovement #mindfulme_dubai #mindfulnessdubai #mindfulnessindubai #dubai #uae #conscious #loveandlight #meditationdubai #community #workshop #growth #delightinbeing #explore #curiouscommunity #meditation #present #awareness #now #asyouare #qigong
