Daily ritual. ✨

Setting an intention, reflecting on what you’re grateful for, and contemplating what you’re hopeful for.

Our Gratitude + Hope Journal is a mindful tool designed to help you hold both gratitude and hope warmly in your heart.

Mindful eating is a practice of awareness — payi

Mindful eating is a practice of awareness — paying attention to the food you’re eating, moment to moment, with the qualities of curiosity and non-judgement. It’s an approach to eating that focuses on your experience of the food by using your senses and self-awareness.

Similar to the way that mindfulness enriches your life outside of your formalised “practice”, a mindful eating practice will enhance the rest of your life, too. Once you embody the teachings and wisdom of mindful eating at mealtimes, you may find that you’re more conscious, grounded and calm in everyday life.

In our latest article, we explore the transformative power of being mindful with food. ✨

When you live with intention, you realise that mindfulness isn’t just reserved for certain aspects of your life. Instead, it’s a way to stay intrinsically connected to the present as each moment unfolds. ✨

Many spiritual traditions speak to the notion of non-attachment — to people, places, things, ideas, thoughts — as a form of liberation and pathway to peace.

Brazilian novelist Paulo Coelho suggests to “collect moments, not things”. “To attain knowledge, add things every day. To attain wisdom, remove things every day,” advises Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu.

In our latest article on Being’s website, we explore how to be content with less. ✨

“Minimising our consumption can seem a daunting task, but it boils down to the question of what we value: time, or things?”

“From the gentle breeze kissing my skin to the serene sounds of birdsong, this environment lends itself so naturally to slowing down and being present.”

“When you open yourself to the continually chang

“When you open yourself to the continually changing, impermanent, dynamic nature of your own being and of reality, you increase your capacity to love and care about other people and your capacity to not be afraid. You're able to keep your eyes open, your heart open and your mind open. And you notice when you get caught up in prejudice, bias and aggression. You develop an enthusiasm for no longer watering those negative seeds, from now until the day you die. And, you begin to think of your life as offering endless opportunities to start to do things differently.” ✨ Pema Chödrön

“One of the things I love about walking in the forest is the lack of horizon line and the feeling that I am completely immersed in the scene around me. I am mindful to take in the 360-degree nature of the space, from high above to the ground below. There is so much to see, so much detail and so many textures; a simple burst of sunlight can change the whole feel of a space. Green is so calming, so I feel very grounded and serene in a space like this.”

Why we need mindfulness in our lives. ✨

Mindfulness is not just a tool we can use to extract the most joy out of moments in life. It’s also a powerful way to be at ease in challenging times. This is the beauty of mindfulness — being able to wholeheartedly experience life as it unfolds, moment to moment.

Composure can be likened to a clear blue sky in the sense that it’s a calm and permanent fixture in our lives. A sky obstructed by clouds can act as a metaphor for when we lose composure.

Activities such as meditation, walking and journalling act as natural contemplative practices that help us to process difficult thoughts, feelings and emotions. And by working through the things that challenge us, the clouds will inevitably pass and allow us to regain our composure — a way of being that is calm, tranquil and serene. ✨

According to @drdaltonsmith, “Rest begins with the prefix re- because it requires us to go back to a prior state. It is a second chance. It’s an opportunity to put back in order anything that has shifted out of alignment.”

In our winter issue, @antoanelasafcawriter explores the different types of rest, and why we need them all. ✨

The power of meditation ✨

By carving out time to simply be with yourself — just as you are — you’re deepening your capacity to be present, curious and compassionate. We strengthen these tools in our meditation practice, but we practise them in the everyday moments of life that challenge us.

“When you become more aware and grounded as a silent witness of your mind, you can watch your thoughts without getting pulled into them. Through this process, the pull becomes less and you can be, interact and live in the world with an open heart.”

“In the morning, when you need good support for the day, there’s nothing better than porridge — a warming bowl of high fibre oats with protein-rich nuts and healthy fats. This Mind Food porridge is laced with our favourite Mind Food ingredients of Rosemary Walnuts and Rosemary Berries. These brain-boosting ingredients are here to keep you sailing through the winter season feeling good. I love to use different grains to keep it interesting and of course you can explore using different nuts and fruits as seasons change.”
