"Suffer Less" is an offering from Mirador Eco-Retreat, a small retreat in western Colorado that's chosen to go virtual for the time being. Each episode includes a short teaching about mindfulness with anecdotal examples, and a guided meditation. Mindfulness practice is accessible to anyone with a desire to experience more satisfaction, meaning, and happiness in life. It's not a quick fix and requires consistent attention, but we really can suffer less with mindfulness. I'm a certified mindfulness and meditation instructor with the Mindful Life Program™.

    The Stories We Tell

    We humans are storytelling beings. By understanding this propensity, we can see ourselves more clearly, and choose more wisely, as we write the ever-changing story of our lives, as we live them. Meditation and mindfulness help us be more aware and resilient in the present moment.

    The Power of Pausing

    Pausing is an essential mindfulness skill. We can only pause in the present moment, not in the past or the future.  If you can incorporate a tiny pause before you leave the house, or move from any place or part of your day to the next, just long enough to review where you are and what you're doing, you'll find that you can both slow down and save time. This is the gift of simply being present in the moments of your precious life. When we can pause, we can choose wisely rather than react. A short introduction to the skill of the pause, followed by a 40 minute meditation.

    Resistance Isn't All Bad...

    In mindfulness practice we emphasize allowing things to be as they are, not resisting reality. Accepting what is reduces suffering and leads to the clarity to act to make change. But sometimes, Wise Resistance is exactly what's needed, for example toward the current political regime in the U.S. Finding the balance between not resisting on a personal level, and wise resistance in a political context means taking what action you're able to and also taking care of yourself. The guided meditation helps you to relax, open your awareness, and let go into the wholeness of your being without resistance.

    Preference... or Attachment?

    We all have preferences, all the time, from unconscious to passionate, and it's perfectly natural to prefer one thing, person, thought over another. However, strong attachments to these preferences can lead to unnecessary suffering. Can we recognize just how much of our attention is about our preferences? Can we learn to let go of attachments to our preferences and thereby suffer less?

    Taking the Edge off of Grief

    Many mindfulness practices can help mitigate the crushing grief of loss. A dear friend is dying: How am I able to still find joy and beauty in the world around me? Expanding our perspective, offering compassion to ourselves, helping to others, and accepting the truth of impermanence can all help to take the edge off of grief. Not numbing or pushing it aside, but spreading it out, holding its hand. Plus "Just Like Me" meditation.

    Want What You Have

    What is contentment? What practices can help us cultivate contentment, and how can we find peace within our own lives in light of the larger suffering in the world? No absolute answers, just some helpful suggestions.

    Letting Go is a Diamond

    It's human nature to want things to be different than they are. In our day to day existence, we want many things to be different than they are, little things, big things. But we suffer less when we learn to let go of things we can't control, like the past and other people; and when we learn to let go of things we can control, including unhealthy habits of mind and body. What does it feel like in the body to allow things to be just as they are in this moment?

    Breath is Your Best Friend

    Any type of meditation relies first and foremost upon the ability to train the unruly mind to concentrate and focus on that which you have chosen to meditate on. Mindfulness of Breath meditation is the most commonly used meditation to develop concentration. Here we touch on the importance of breath, and offer a guided meditation with a number of different ways to facilitate holding the attention on the breath.
