You are using the most powerful, complicated, and dangerous instrument the universe may have ever created, and yet, you weren’t ever given basic instruction. What could possibly go wrong? Well, as it turns out, a lot.
The mind has the power to do many things. It can get stuck in the past, such as replaying a conversation from earlier in the day or reminding us all too often of painful things we have been through. It also frequently gets stuck in the future, such as making plans or playing worrisome “what if” games. Allowing the mind to run in these ways is dangerous because our minds get better at whatever they do the most. All that mental activity also prevents us from truly relaxing and enjoying the present moment, let alone sleeping soundly.
The good news is that the mind can be managed (and should be), but it isn’t our habit to do so. The most effective way we have found to manage our mind is through the practice of Mindfulness. Mindfulness is the ability to direct the mind in all moments, and it’s a literal superpower that you can develop! As we learn to be more careful, we direct the mind towards positive states of mind which, over time, become personality traits.
We teach you methods that will work for you. There are some common pitfalls along the way, and we can help you avoid them before they become habits.
