I’m Mary—teacher, traveler, meditator, yoga practitioner, and lover of words, images, and experiences. I’m curious, gutsy, and compassionate. I’m happy you found me here where you can connect to me and to Mindfulness Meditation.. Maybe you have heard about mindfulness and about meditation and are curious to try it. Or, you might be skeptical. That’s OK, too. Maybe you want to be more at ease with your thoughts and emotions—with yourself. Or perhaps, you want to be calmer under pressure and more receptive to others even when it is hard. Maybe you want to change habits or patterns of thinking that aren’t serving you well or cause you worry or anxiety. Perhaps, you are tired of feeling your body tight and all tied up in knots and are wondering how to just let go. Or, maybe you’ve tried meditating on your own or with an app and it hasn’t worked out for you. There are thousands of reasons why you may have landed here. I am happy you did. Welcome. It is all about practice. A Mindful Life begins with practice, continues with practice, and ends with practice. Practice puts our intentions into action. Practice is training for the mind. Practice gives us peace of mind. Good and bad things still and always will happen, but our perspective changes. We are OK, no matter what is happening right now. When we train our minds we open ourselves to our possibilities. Rather than react, we respond. Rather than grasp at or push away thoughts, emotions and experiences, we allow them to be as they are without getting all tied up in them or running away from them. The thought or emotion is there, we experience it, but we experience it with spaciousness and non-reactivity. In this way we develop the quality of equanimity—seeing the big picture with evenness and without judgment. This allows us to open to the unknown—with curiosity, wisdom, and heart. I look forward to meditating with you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616f57e4653ae03aeaa16727/1634690667416-L0WHYXYRS5HF5OQHSNFT/MMTCP-GradLogo-4Inch.jpg About - My Credentials I’ve been practicing mindfulness in my life and have had a meditation practice for a very, very long time. The fruits of my practice—wisdom, equanimity, gratitude, and kindness— led me to wanting to share with and teach others. In January 2021 I received my Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification through Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach’s two year Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program (MMTCP). As a certified Mindfulness teacher, my intention is to share not only what I have learned but also what I have lived and to provide practical ways to bring Mindfulness into your life. I am grateful to Jack and Tara for their guidance, knowledge, and kindness. My gratitude ripples outward to all my other teachers as well, among them Joseph Goldstein, Thich Nhat Hanh, Adyashanti, Rick Hanson, Daniel Siegel, Kristin Neff, Mark Epstein, Judson Brewer, Lama Tsomo, Tsultrim Allione, Kelly McGonigal, my grandmother and so many more. Some I have had the good fortune to know in person and others I have known through streaming, webcasts, video, and print. From Jack and Tara… “We offer our blessings and confidence in support of the MMTCP graduates of our worldwide teacher training. We honor the quality of what they have to offer, and the healing and awakening that these teachings and practices bring to our world.” --With Metta, Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach https://www.yourmindfulpractice.com/contact daily 0.75 2025-10-02 https://www.yourmindfulpractice.com/register-for-meditation daily 0.75 2025-10-02 https://www.yourmindfulpractice.com/newsletter daily 0.75 2022-04-12 https://www.yourmindfulpractice.com/privacy-policy daily 0.75 2022-02-01 https://www.yourmindfulpractice.com/store daily 0.75 2025-01-01
