Returning to the Moment

Welcome visitors and fellow travelers:

One of the most consistently transformational processes I’ve discovered in my personal life is translating inspiring ideas into practical ways of being in the world.

  • In this weekly feature, I’d like to share with you some of the approaches that have made a difference in my life. I hope that you’ll explore these practices and see how they work for you. There are no particular outcomes you have to achieve.
  • My purpose in sharing these ideas and suggestions with you is to offer some ways to experiment with increasing awareness and mastery in your life. Daily exercises I have experienced myself, and in my clinical practice.
  • Each week, I’ll be posting a thought or exercise to take into your week as an experiment in action.
  • A ground rule I’d like to ask you to consider is two-fold: first, engage the process of these experiments in action with curiosity – with an open mind and a willingness to discover things you didn’t know already; and, second, bring along as your constant companion a basic stance of self-acceptance and non-judgment.

There are no ‘right answers’ to these explorations.

There’s only an invitation to discovery and increased self-awareness, a recognition of ‘what is’.

Namaste
Nancy
