Hello,

We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to each of you for attending the second session of our Deep Dive Meeting Series on Contemplative Practices. 

In this session, we explored five contemplative practices, and how we can integrate these practices into our work. These practices support grounding, enhancing focus, fostering calmness, and nurturing discernment. They also only take a few minutes to experience so can be drawn upon in moments of stress or anxiety. 

The session explored the science behind these practices and shed light on how they can positively impact your physical and mental health. We shared practical tools that will help you stay engaged in your contemplative journey. Additionally, we briefly addressed common challenges faced during meditation practice and provided strategies to overcome them.

In the session, we also shared the following activities that we encourage for you to consider as next steps on your journey:

• Choose your anchor.
• Notice which sensation you feel most connected with.
• Notice where you hold tension in your body.
• Notice your thoughts. See if you are drawn to a particular visualization practice.
• Capture your experience through journaling e.g. www.dayoneapp.com. Notice what arises daily or weekly for the next four weeks. 

For those who couldn't make it live or wish to revisit the content, you can access the recording and slides of the meeting in the Deeper Dive Recordings tab of Maddie's University. Just follow this link: Deep Dive Recordings.

You can also watch the recording below.

Our next Deep Dive Meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, November 1, 2023, at 10am PT | 12PM CT | 1PM ET. The topic for our next session will be "Values Alignment."

We encourage you to continue your journey by participating in the suggested activities from our last meeting and sharing your discoveries in the Maddies Pet Forum group or by responding to this email.

Thank you once again for being a part of this enriching experience. We look forward to seeing you in our next Deep Dive Meeting!

Warmly,

Jyothi
