MINDFULNESS MEDITATION KAUAI
"Mindfulness in Daily Living"
Friday Mornings 830-10
Princeville Community Center
"Mindfulness in Daily Living" meets weekly on Friday mornings at the Princeville Community Center, focusing on practical ways and means of living mindfully. Each session includes simple yoga and meditation, along with other awareness practices of mindfulness. Our intention is to bring attention and action to what's at the heart of our health and well-being, in the moment and over time.
From "beginner" to "advanced" in practice experience, you're welcome to join in.
Next meeting- Friday, October 6th, 830-10 AM
Our focus on openness and curiosity in daily living resonates with the friendly invitation in Rumi 's poem -
The Guest House
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
~ Rumi ~
