We’re going to be exploring today a series of different ways to cultivate mindful attention. It’s a particularly helpful practice when the mind is busy, when we’re finding it hard to be present, when we’re triggered by something, or when it’s just really hard to settle. Of course, this might sound like any day of the week. But there are times in particular when we’re so busy thinking, planning, worrying, stressing that it’s really hard to focus on the breath or the body, or whatever particular meditation object we’re using.

Mindfulness—the practice of focusing on the here and now—seems to boost both your mood and overall well-being. You may think of mindfulness as something you do during meditation—that is, while you're sitting quietly with your eyes closed. If you can carve 20 minutes out of your day to meditate, that's great. But meditation is just one mindfulness technique. You can also practice informally, by simply being present in the moment during everyday activities. Read more
Grounding meditation is a technique that focuses on connecting your body and mind with the earth and the present moment. It can help you feel more centered, balanced, and present with your thoughts and emotions. During a grounding meditation, you might focus on your breath, or visualize roots growing from your body into the earth. You might focus on settling back toward the back of the body to help you feel more grounded and rooted (ever suddenly notice you are perched on the edge of your seat, leaning forward in an agitated posture of attack?)

Grounding, or “earthing,” is the practice of connecting a body to earth. A complex energy network keeps the systems of our bodies going. The theory is that when you are connected to the earth by walking, sitting or lying directly on sand, grass or dirt, you soak up antioxidants. This connection helps you reset your “personal charge.” Although not widely studied, some research has shown this practice affects many physical conditions, including inflammation, pain, mood and more. Many cultures around the world have credited walking barefoot with positive physical changes and feelings of well-being. Read more
Another lifestyle factor to consider is your diet. To maintain focus and feel centered, reduce your intake of added sugar, processed foods, fried foods, and anything that doesn't make you feel your best. While this might seem clear, we've all faced the dilemma — for instance, choosing between a chocolate chip cookie and an apple. You might know which option is better for nourishing your body, but when it comes to making the choice, which would you pick? If you chose the apple, here's a virtual high-five for you!
In today’s fast-paced, technology-driven world, the concept of grounding or earthing, connecting to the earth’s natural energy, has gained increasing attention for its potential health benefits. From enhancing sleep quality to reducing inflammation and stress levels, grounding research shows many positive impacts on our well-being. While recovering from multiple torn tendons and a stress fracture in my foot from marathoning, I implemented grounding to help lower the inflammation in my body, allowing an optimal environment for healing. Let’s delve into the science behind grounding and explore how this simple practice may be the key to unlocking a healthier life. Read more
