Did you Join the Mindfulness community in June & July 2018!? Introduce yourself and meet other who joined this month too!

Hello and welcome to the Mindfulness Forums CommunityI'd like you all to come with me and take a mindful walk with me through this area. Now please get comfortable, don't feel bad putting your feet up on that coffee table- take a deep breath and enjoy this short walk with us

Close your eyes and imagine that you are walking into the Mindfulness Forums Forest. Wow so many areas, looking all spooky and scary kinda like big big trees all stretched out and full. You see the Daily check ins, wow so many wonderful topics to read on daily. Then only a few yards away comes the Mindfulness Practices and Skills. Oh do be careful not to trip over the tree trunks in the gorund. Here you can find many skills on how to be mindful.

Do you smell the forest dirt? The light in the forest cascades down through the leaves in a soft spray of light.The light shines bright over the Resource Library.The layers of forest have various textures. Do you feel it on your feet? The lower undergrowth is soft and green. The library has so much information in there for whatever you would like to learn on. There are ferns, moss, and small growths reaching towards the light. Touch it, feel it's coolness on your fingertips.

The upper canopy of the trees covers like a stained glass roof overhead, you will notice the Creative Corner. The light green leaves against the light blue and white sky create a soft, glowing, ambient light. The light is gentle and soothing. Here is a place where you can share of read on many ways to be mindfully creative. Just as nature plays together in the forest leafs with the sun's light.

There is a smooth path you are walking upon, here you are at the Team Announcements. It's well-trodden, and you continue to walk on through it. This area is filled with things the team like to share with the community. Do you see and smell combinations of soil, roots, and small plants, and how it is easy to walk through?

Once you round the corner, you see a stream that is very active- here it's called Mindfulness Discussions and DBT Skills. These 2 areas you can participate in forum discussions and support and be supported by the community. You continue toward it, admiring the large trees that grew in this streamand the different types of bark on each tree trunk. Some trees have rough bark, and some have smooth bark; some have light bark, and others dark. Notice the smell of the water and how it sprays on your face a bit.

The stream you can hear the rippling water sounds getting louder in a constant rhythm. You feel sorta like welcomed in this place nature so volunteers having us there. You now know you are in the Welcoming Center. You see the rocks just under the surface of the water; the water swirls around some and pours over others. Here you know you can "shout out" a hello and know and feel all around you- you are welcomed and feeling special.

As you notice the time and the sun starting to go down....there is much more for you to see and discover. But you notice that you are feeling full of this nature walk. You will make a plan soon to come back and visit and see all the other wonderful things this place has to offer................

Mindfulness Team shares a "Welcome" to you.
