What does it mean to manifest? When we manifest, we’re simply extending an invitation. We’re opening a door and inviting what we want to come into our lives.
Yet effective manifestation isn’t just thinking of something we’d like - such as more money or a new relationship - and considering it done. Here are three steps we can take to make it happen.
Learning yoga in person from an instructor is a sure way to remain safe and receive the best possible foundation for your yoga practice. But from there, you shouldn’t feel confined to a studio. You can save money and fit yoga anywhere in your schedule when you find a qualified, talented instructor online.
Self-care is all about promoting health and balance in daily life. It’s about choosing that which benefits ourselves. Many people still think it’s about pedicures and sleeping until noon, but even less pleasant acts like creating a weekly budget are forms of self-care.
ASMR is an acronym which stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response. It’s a term most of us never heard of until ASMR-themed videos began uploading to YouTube at a frenetic pace. Being that Silent Mind is all about getting good vibes through sound, we decided to check it out. Here are some questions we had, and the answers we found.
Relationships, we say, are all about give and take. But is equal distribution really the foundation of love? Of course all relationships thrive with reciprocity, but it doesn’t work when it’s so intentional. What if someone left your life without “paying back” the last kindness you paid them? You might feel resentful, as though you were owed something. That’s not love!
How many times per day do you stop and take note of your posture? If you make it a point to practice mindfulness, you may already find yourself correcting your own posture daily. However, many of us slave away at counters and desks for hours without thinking about our spines. How does this affect our lives?
There’s a lot to be said for swiftly pursuing what you want. But when you take your time on something important, it can give you the experience you need to pursue subsequent goals with more confidence.
In some ways, making a resolution is like putting the cart before the horse. You’re focusing on an end result. Actually, one could argue that so few of us fulfill our annual resolutions because we are only driven by results.
An intention, however, can help show you how to get there. An intention puts you in the frame of mind to accomplish your goals. It sets the mood for achieving, not just receiving whatever it is you desire.
For the most part, singing bowls exist just fine on their own. They look beautiful on a shelf or desk, patiently waiting to be played. However, you can extend the life of your singing bowl by giving it the proper care it needs every now and then. Here are 10 of our best tips for taking care of a singing bowl.
At Silent Mind, many of our customers are brand new to singing bowls, in concept and practice. Every now and then, we receive a question along the lines of, “Who really invented singing bowls?”
While we love answering each and every question we get, this is the one that’s a little difficult to answer.
When we talk about being centered, we just instinctually get what it means. Being centered makes us feel like all parts that make up the Self (and beyond) are in balance. The center is a place we intend to go to when we meditate or practice mindfulness. And of course, it’s a core concept here at Silent Mind.
There’s something missing from today’s to-do list: relaxation.
A lot of us skip right over time spent relaxing because with everything we have going on, it would seem lazy to kick our feet up. However, relaxing is incredibly valuable when it comes to our health, both long and short term. Taking a breather can decrease our chances of coming down with a cold this week, while decreasing our chances of suffering high blood pressure or strokes later on.
Making friends with relaxation also helps us accomplish more during our active times. We’re less tense and overwhelmed, better able to focus on what’s right in front of us.
