MINDFULNESS MEDITATION KAUAI
Aloha!
My intention here is to highlight a few of the many doors opening to the vast world of mindfulness. Each Friday morning meeting in Princeville will likewise focus on one of these entry ways to living mindfully.
Each heading and every meeting brings attention to one of a myriad of ways of finding our place in this mysterious universe. Each is about a certain way of experiencing the conscious connections we all share, expressed by voices from around the world. (Topics are found under the 3 bars to the upper right if you are on the mobile version of this site.)
With gratitude to the many teachers who have influenced my path here, especially those who have inspired an appreciation for what is called the mind-body connection in our health and well-being,
Mahalo,
Don Maurer

WHAT IS MINDFULNESS?
Mindfulness means paying attention to your present moment experience with an open, curious, non-judgmental attitude.
The practice of mindfulness nurtures a clearer understanding of how your thoughts and emotions impact your health and quality of life.
Practicing mindfulness is a time-tested way of recognizing the nature of your mind, which determines your reality.

WHAT IS MINDFULNESS BASED STRESS REDUCTION?
Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is a course about recognizing your innate capacity for healing and well-being through mindfulness. MBSR is taught in a supportive, educational group setting in 9 classes over 8 weeks, including a weekly 2 hour class and one 6 hour retreat. Here you are invited to learn practical skills for developing your ability to handle stress and connect with deep inner healing resources. The practice includes mind/body exercises (such as meditation and yoga) for directly experiencing the interplay of mind and body in health and illness. (More about MBSR found under "Resources" in headings.)
