Featuring Shanti Douglas.

Planting and tending a garden is a rich metaphor for mindfulness practice. We plant a seed, take care of it, and then enjoy the fruits. In a similar way, we formulate mindful intentions, nourish them, and observe how they impact our lives. Shanti Douglas, a skilled gardener and mindfulness teacher, shares practices that will benefit both our physical and mental gardens.

Just the Meditation:  Mindful Self-Compassion.

Mindfulness isn't something you need to stop your life to do. You don't need to drop everything, pretend you've got all the time in the world, or ignore the things going on around you. Mindfulness is a practice that can lift you up in the midst of the moments of your life, while the moments of your life unfold--and no matter what challenges, opportunities, and joys those moments bring. Since 2005, Mind the Moment has been producing mindfulness content designed to help everyone bring a little bit more mindfulness into their everyday lives. Let us show you how.
