We will disengage from something that no longer serves us, but fail to set an intention for something even better. This new decade, instead of cutting things out, let’s focus on healthy swaps.
Setting an intention to live more mindfully can end up bringing you many things that people make resolutions to get. If you’re ready to ring in a mindful 2020, here are some tips to help you set your intentions properly on
If you - like so many other Silent Mind lovers - are a yoga instructor, you already know what sequences are great for relieving holiday stress. But are you aware of all the ways singing bowls can benefit your own practice, your student’s experience, and your business as a whole?
