MINDFULNESS MEDITATION KAUAI
Welcome!
My intention here is to highlight a few of the many doors opening to the vast world of mindfulness. Friday morning meetings in Princeville feature core practices for living mindfully, including mindfulness meditation and yoga for balance.
Each heading and every meeting focuses on practical ways of developing compassion and insight in daily living. Each is about a certain way of experiencing the conscious connections we all share, as expressed in wisdom traditions over time around the world.
With gratitude to all my teachers along the way, especially those who have inspired respect for the mind-body connection at the heart of our health, well-being and happiness.
​
With Aloha,
Don Maurer

WHATÂ 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.)
