Welcome!
Mindful Resources provides classes, workshops, retreats, mentoring, therapy, and other forms of mindfulness teaching and assistance. As Jon Kabat-Zinn said, "As long as you are breathing, there is more right with your than there is wrong with you, no matter how ill or how hopeless you may feel." Our mission is to help you open up to all that you are and all that you can be through mindfulness meditation. Check out our Programs tab for more details. We hope you can join us sometime soon.
Mindfulness is "paying attention in a particular way, on purpose, in the present moment, without judgement" [Jon Kabat-Zinn].

Mindfulness is a form of meditation that stems from Buddhism and is often referred to as Insight Meditation or Vipassana Meditation. Mindfulness meditation is not just practiced on the cushion, through sitting meditation, but it is incorporated in all that we do in our daily lives, moment by moment. In mindfulness we learn to clear our minds, open our hearts, and live life fully through our bodies. Through this process we open up to a greater sense of wholeness and wellbeing within ourselves and a vast connectedness with others and the world. As we build the muscles of mindfulness meditation, we live more fully in the present moment and experience life from a greater stillness, which aids us in relating to both ourselves and others with increased clarity, compassion, calmness and creativity, and less fear, anxiety, and stress. Thirty years of research has indicated that mindfulness meditation is associated with significant decreases in stress, pain, physical and emotional distress (including depression, anxiety, grief and loss), and improvements in sleep, energy, health outcomes, and quality of life.
