Minfulness Practices


I enjoyed Loving Kindness and Subtle mind. These were the two that helped me relax and see my life through clearer eyes. They helped me to focus on what is important to me and no stress out about things that I cannot change.  I am also able to reap the benefits of truly believing in prayer and strengthen my relationship with God.



1st example: I recently started the home buying process of my first home. In the beginning I was stressed and worried that God was not answering my prayers but the mindfulness practices have helped me to settle my mind and allow see what God was trying to show me. The path became clear I put my faith in God. I am happy to say that I will be closing on my house 7/9/2012.



2nd example: I have a really big family and when we all come together it can sometimes get out of hand. There are some of us that dwell on the past when others are trying to move forward.  I have been practicing on keeping a happy mind because after all happy equals healthy. Thinking like this I was able to walk away without getting upset or engaging in the arguments around me. I felt great and was proud of myself. The family was surprised.

  1. Hello Tonya, I also enjoyed the Loving Kindness practice, because it brought such a peace in my spirit. I was very relaxed. I loved your examples. Right now, I am going through some of the same things. I have started looking for a home to buy, and that is stressful in itself. These practices have done a great deal for me also. I just experienced, (trying to keep a happy mind) during the 4th of July, when many of us got together. I stayed focus, I thought I was not going to make it through, but I can say.....Thank God, I made it!! I know it was through the help of God and these practices that I was able to feel confident, and practice keeping a happy mind. Best wishes to you!

  2. Hi Tonya,
    Congradulations on your new house! How absolutely exciting for you! It has always amazed me the path that has been revealed when I finally got out of God's way :O) To me, His time is certainly NOT on earthly time, but the more you practice using His power, which Faith is a major one, things finally work out the way they are suppose to.
    The things taught in this class can sure help with dealing with family members. The more we get ourselves in check, the more room we have to deal appropriately with loved ones. I'm glad you were successful!! :O) Donna
