Mindfulness Awakening to a Meaningful Life: The mind is vast in its capacity to create, heal and
connect. Mindfulness helps to develop its full potential; to become more aware.
Today’s busy-ness contributes to minimal awareness and obsessive thinking. We keep ourselves distracted
and entertained. Our minds are seldom still. This can affect our health, causing unhappiness, chronic pain, disease, obesity, addiction, depression and so on, as well as reactionary, rather than meaningful relationships.
Mindfulness puts us back in touch with our preciousness and our ability to be well and engaged in a fearless, meaningful life.
Mindfulness requires practice, just like learning to play the piano. We do a little each day, being truly present with our minds and bodies. Then we are able to open to the limitless possibilities available to us.

Someone I Love Died
When your father or mother dies it is hard to believe that you can go on with your life, but I found out that you can. It was all because of a support group for teens where I met others who had lost someone they love. Our group leader, Angel, helped us to heal. She listened and taught us to listen to each other (and ourselves) in a special way. We started to feel better and get on with our lives. By introducing you to my friends at Khululeka I think you can learn a lot that will help you to heal from your grief. I hope so!
