“I feel like a passenger instead of the driver in my life.”

“It is difficult for me to remain present with the ones I love.”

“I feel like I have been absent or spaced out for long periods of time.”

It can be difficult to feel like you are not present, much less not present for the ones you love dearly. We may block out difficult parts of our experience because of how painful it is. Sometimes, we even lose control of our emotions and react in ways that we consciously would not. You are not alone. The brain’s chemistry can alter drastically when we go through significant trauma or anxiety, and it can be difficult to reestablish control. Mindfulness and meditation are ways that we can rewire the brain so you can be in the driver’s seat of your experience again. 

The practice of mindfulness can help us reclaim our bodies, our feelings, and eventually ourselves. Much of our time and attention turns toward the outside world, so let us begin to turn inward and nurture the garden that lies within each of us. We have the power to repurpose and focus these reactive and disorganized energies to become the concentrated catalyst in our healing.

• Anxiety

• Chronic pain

• Depression

• High blood pressure
