26. Mindful Moment

In this episode, I explore the mindfulness concept that "you are exactly where you're meant to be." I delve into what this phrase truly means beyond just positive thinking, and how we can approach our present experience with genuine openness and curiosity.We explore the various reactions people might have to this statement - from eye-rolling skepticism to deep relief - and what these reactions tell us about our relationship with the present moment. I emphasize that accepting where we are isn't about wanting to stay there forever, but rather about creating the conditions for natural movement and growth through mindful awareness.I connect this concept to Rumi's famous poem "The Guest House," using it as a metaphor for how we can host all our experiences - thoughts, emotions, and circumstances - with greater presence and acceptance. The episode offers a gentle reminder about the transformative power of welcoming our experience exactly as it is.Resources Mentioned:Rumi's poem "The Guest House" - https://www.scottishpoetrylibrary.org.uk/poem/guest-house/ This episode is perfect for anyone feeling resistant to their current circumstances or seeking a more mindful way to approach life's challenges. It's a reminder that mindfulness isn't about forced positivity, but about meeting our experience with genuine curiosity and openness.Thank you for tuning in to this episode of "Mothering Ourselves Mindfully." We look forward to sharing more insights and inspiration in the upcoming episodes!www.theschoolofmom.comInstagram @the.schoolofmomBook a breakthrough Call
