Our second Mindfulness & Meditation group at Body Bliss Yoga Studio was a sweet discussion on Loving Kindness, the strategies for keeping kindness in our hearts and the obstacles that get in the way. We sat together in a guided loving kindness meditation followed by a breath awareness meditation.
Our next group meets Sunday, March 1st. Guest speaker, Barbara Robitaille will be coming down from Seattle to be with us. She is going to be speaking to living a life committed to compassion and kindness over fear and hate. Barbara has spoken at our clinic in the past and is a sincere, inspired, accessible teacher. Don't miss this one! Register online for our March group here - hope to see you! Here are some resources we talked about today. VIDEOS I talked about this short excerpt of an interview with Susan Sarandon and Eckhart Tolle on the role of presence in acting. I referenced this charming Sharon Salzberg video with animation called, Where Does Compassion Really Come From? I also mentioned Pema Chodron and her video on explaining loving kindness.
