  • Is my priority peace of mind?

    Simone Riml written by Simone on Saturday, July 24th, 2010

    “It’s easy to live in the moment, when most of your moments take place in Maui.” Sometimes the stresses of the day can be too much. I realized that I brought home with me and allowed stay for the evening thoughts of the day; conversations real and imagined along with all of the [...]

  • What is Wellness?

    YeShey Palmo written by YeShey on Friday, July 16th, 2010

    YeShey Palmo written by YeShey on Monday, June 28th, 2010

    The best meditation resolution for me was to just do it and ignore the rest of mental chatter giving me reasons not to do it right now.

  • Meditate from the Heart

    YeShey Palmo written by YeShey on Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

    As busy modern people we tend to process our daily activities, our difficulties, our traumas and everything else in the head; with the brain.  As a result we are used to using this as our ‘center’. When we use the brain as the center during meditation, it can be very difficult to [...]

    Simone Riml written by Simone on Saturday, June 12th, 2010

     “Why am I meditating?” is the single most important question to ask and answer for yourself as you begin. Honestly, some early mornings, my motivation or goals, or hopes for some future state of mind are the only reason I meditate.  Knowing, honestly why you are meditating will help you get onto the cushion when [...]

  • Carefree Dignity

    YeShey Palmo written by YeShey on Monday, May 24th, 2010

    “Being carefree, you can fit in anywhere. If you’re not carefree you keep on bumping up against things. Your life becomes so narrow, so tight; it gets very claustrophobic. Carefree means being wide open from within, not constricted. Carefree doesn’t mean careless. It is not that you don’t care about others, not that you don’t [...]

  • All day mindfulness practice

    YeShey Palmo written by YeShey on Saturday, May 15th, 2010

    During steps one and two we do our level best to keep our attention pinned to the object of focus – the breath. The biggest obstacle to achieving this single pointed concentration are the thoughts.   The meditation instructions remind us over and over to not engage in the thoughts. When a thought arises, do [...]

  • The Battle between Intensity and Consistency

    Simone Riml written by Simone on Wednesday, April 28th, 2010

    Left to my own devices, I am an intense person – laid back but intense. If I could, I would exercise for one grueling four hour session and then not again until next week (or next month), eat all the healthy, nutrient rich, antioxidant, cancer fighting foods for one giant breakfast for the week.   I [...]
