Beautiful, meditative short film. https://youtu.be/9Oe5Qnip9Bs

Watched this interview yesterday and recommend it. Michael Bunting has a lot of wisdom to share about mindfulness at work and mindfulness for leaders (and the practice of mindfulness in general). Very interesting!

Today I had the pleasure of offering my 1 hour mindfulness conference to m District employees as part of their Wellness Month. Thank you for the invitation and well done for your commitment to the health of your employees at all levels!

I had the pleasure of introducing Felix to meditation a few years ago at the very onset of his symptoms and then accompanying him in meditation again last year. Felix has multiple sclerosis and is fundraising for research. His story (in English below, with his wife and children) is super touching and he is a man with a big heart. The race is now over, but it is still possible to donate, if this cause inspires you. ==== By donating to Grand Portage MS, your gift will help fun...d the joint research projects led by Dr. Jack Antel (Neuro) and Dr. Alexandre Prat (CHUM), focused on the immunological and neurological mechanisms involved in the development and progression of multiple sclerosis. This knowledge is a necessary step towards better treatment options for the disease. All your donations (100%) will go to research, and you will receive a tax receipt from the Université de Montréal. https://app.simplyk.io//d17049ab-7afd-46b2-a35e-16599c3a95

Tonight I watched a few videos of Peter Levine. He seems to have found a simple yet powerful method to heal trauma. Here’s a video in which he explains how he first discovered it, but there are many others! Have a look if you are interested in that topic. He also wrote a few books! https://youtu.be/J8b-6C-5wQo

To be fully conscious means more than to simply experience suffering; it means to be fully accepting of it in the intimacy of the heart. It means to allow one’...s sorrow (not only your own, but the sorrow of all beings) to crack open the heart. ~ Adyashanti, from The Way of Liberating Insight Sacred Inquiry https://bit.ly/2FBXVbU

Looking for free guided meditations to help you through this challenging phase of our lives? Here are many from teachers from the McLean Meditation institute where I got my meditation teacher certification in 2014!

Yesterday I had the pleasure of talking about mindfulness to CIBC employees in Toronto (online). This one-hour conference is full of practical tips to help better manage stress and emotions as well as improve our relationships with others. The conference is available in English and French. :-)

One of the advantages of this new strictly online era is that I am asked to do conferences for people all over the world, like today when I gave a one hour talk on mindfulness to Warner Bros Games employees in Canada, the US and the UK!
