We kick off this series with a look at what anchors of mindfulness are and dive right into exploring your breath as one of the strongest anchors available to you.

In part two of the series you're invited to explore using "sound" as an anchor for your mindfulness practice. Whether focusing on one individual sound, or releasing to the weaving waves of sound all around you - sound can be a powerful tool in your practice!

In this section you'll explore sight as an anchor of your mindfulness practice. A lot of times when you sit or invite stillness for meditation you are encouraged to close your eyes to help quiet the mind. 
That is not always a quieting experience for some individuals! Plus observing what it is around and how things move together can be a really interesting way to let thoughts go in the mind and find that connection to the right now. 

In part four of the series, you'll explore using "sensation" around or within the physical body that connects you the body to the environment. Sensation can change from moment to moment and comes from your physical posture, the environment around you, observations and feelings from the brain and heart, and more! 

Exploring sensation can be really challenging for some individuals. As with all practices notice what comes up for you and then determine how you choose to respond to what sensations, if any, you happen to observe. 

Movement is one of our passions. Guiding students and clients to move the body through space with intention and purpose - focusing on integration of the physical body to develop strong, sustainable movement patterns... that's our jam! 

In this section, you're invited to use your intuition and curiosity to explore how different shapes feel and how you choose to respond in those moments. 

All of our series are packed full of movement practices to explore. But perhaps for this module, you invite yourself to simply go for an adventure outside. Notice how your body moves. How you connect with the earth and the environment. 

The final part of the series brings you all the way home back to your mind. The most powerful resource in your body that connects you not only to yourself but to all of the creation that surrounds you and everything and everyone in it. 

That's pretty heavy stuff! 

The thoughts that run through the mind and how you choose to observe and interact with them provide plenty of opportunity for a mindfulness practice.  And there are heaps of benefits in exploring the mind - certainly mentally, but also physically, emotionally, and even spiritually.
