I’m glad to be a part of this Shift. I am here to show others that they can do it, and that 40 days of practice is sufficient, in fact all that is needed, to cause this Shift of Consciousness in you. I have held this practice for much longer. I am in the process [...]

I will begin today to write daily in my 15 minute miracle book by Jacqueline Aldana. When I do this, I become very, very mindful. I also will commit to writing down my thanksgiving in my gratitude journal. I committ also to 10-30 minutes of time for self-care every day, which is my mindfulness growing [...]
Precious Shift Network Friends, Shortly after beginning the Peace Ambassador training some old (chronic) health problems became acute and I fell behind. I am doing my best to catch up. I wrote about this in my post for Week 6 Homework. This is the final paragraph: One point of view I have that I’m really [...]
Hi everyone. I’m just on my third day of the “mindfullness practice” shift. I’ve chosen to get more disciplined about making my Qigong practices a daily routine in my life. That’s why I was excited to stumble onto the “mindfullness practice” shift. So far so good. I use a self-designed scoreboard to keep myself on [...]
Despite an excellent PAT week 2 talk on mindfulness by Cassandra Vieten, I got a bit lost in my second week – resistance to being a peacemaker was up, high! – but now (Sunday) I seem to be back on track.
Thinking I wouldn’t be able to participate in the actual Peace Ambassador Training but wishing to, I did some thinking and writing about how I could more consciously participate in the Shift. In essence what came up for me is the need to move from consumer /parasite consciousness more deeply into stewardship /symbiosis consciousness. I [...]
I started this shift with the intent of becoming more aware, more mindful. To this end I have meditated daily and journalled. As I became more in tune, I found the universe singing a new tune to me…so many things have changed but for one, to try and save this universe through the medium of [...]
Thursday, May 26 begins my journey of 40 days on mindfulness. How wonderful to connect with others on this path of awareness. By bringing peace to myself, I do my part in bringing peace to the world.
I had an acupuncture session this morning & found that meditating while resting with the needles in accelerated my ability to jump into the consciousness stream. I’m curious if others have had this experience before….
This weekend, I attended the Newark Peace Education summit and participated in 3 days of talks about Personal, Community, Global & Planetary Peace. We had Nobel Laureates such as The Dalai Lama, Jody Williams and Shirin Ebadi. I also connected with amazing people in the consciousness movement such as Marianne Williamson, Bob Thurman and others. [...]
We have arrived at day 40 of Mindfulness! Congratulations. Any thoughts to share about your experience? Any desire to keep going with this community support? I know I would like to…
I have been deepening my meditative practice on a daily basis. I am paying closer attention to my thoughts and attempting to choosing the ones for my highest and best good and allowing the lower vibratory thoughts to pass-by like a floating cloud~ Also, making small steps to surrounding myself with Live energy to draw from, [...]
We are more than 50% of the way through our 40 Days of Mindfulness. What I’m noticing is that when I consistently practice my 20 minutes of mindfulness first thing in the morning, my days feel more rich, peaceful and less chaotic. When I “decide” that I don’t have time in the morning, my days [...]
Namaste quanto mais se dá mais se tem,é muito bom praticar a gentileza,jamais julgar ou criticar o amor acontece e com todo tipo de situacao..
My 2nd week of Mindfulness Practice (Steiner’s Day of the Week Exercises: RIGHT OPINION) asks me to: (1) pay attention to my ideas and think only significant thoughts, separating the essential from the non-essential; and (2) Forego all assent and judgment when listening to others, even in my thoughts and feelings. No. (1) has compelled [...]
We’ve made it through 10 days & are on our way. Please share what motivates or inspires you to keep a mindfulness practice going. Or, if you’d like to give or receive support in the practice, please self-express here!
I thought I might create some general progress report areas that we can comment on & see if there are common themes in this process in the first 10 days. Please share what you feel inspired to share about what is coming up for you as you start this practice…
My Exercises for the Week (by Rudolf Steiner) mindfulness practice started today. Week 1 requires me to learn from every experience as it has something to teach me. Today a 25 year old nephew died. He was shot last night by a burglar in their house. My husband is close to his father. We had [...]
Okay, Okay! Time to get started despite the fools day! Let’s see, what would a good April fools joke be on the shift network…The shift hit the fan today! Beware!! 
I do meditate almost every morning for about 20 to 30 minutes except mornings I’m traveling. I’ve been meditating for about 20 years off [...]
40 Days of mindfulness starts April 1st. If you haven’t already posted, what are willing to commit to for at least 40 days? Last year, I meditated every day for 40 days & added Yoga in daily just for fun. So many rich lessons emerged from this practice. This year, I’m committing to at least [...]
Sending out courage and will to everyone in this group when I do my heart-focus tonight. May we all have the courage to progress to 40 days of Mindfulness as we begin tomorrow! All my heartfelt intentions, Paula
I have been meditating early in the morning for about two years now…I get up between 4:30 & 5:00 while my son is still sleeping, prepare my morning mate and meditate for one hour….my meditation varies from day to day with a mixture of prayer, visualization, connecting to the earth and then to my spirit [...]
Made a commitment to writing every day for 15 minutes and meditation for 30 minutes!
Daily meditation IS all it’s cracked up to be. I love how I feel practicing this tool again. Sleep is my most bestest medicine. I’m going to sleep earlier, but still aiming for 11pm.
I am committing to continue my daily journal writing for this forty day shift. I love the opportunity to connect and do this with a community of like minded travelers. I am so glad to have followed the synchronicity that led me to this community. Looking forward to sharing with everyone.
In order to strengthen mindfulness in myself I am committing to at least 20 minutes of meditation or yoga every day. And since the internet has slowed down considerably I’m going to get started now. Good luck to everyone here!
I am looking forward to practicing together and am going to use the Elemental Breath Practice written by Hazrat Inayat Khan. I believe this will strengthen my connection to the natural rthyms of life and connect me even stronger with my purpose! Thanks so much Emily for fostering our growth in this way. For more [...]
It is the 40 day commitment time of the year isn’t it? Well this is a great Shift. I’m going to make an added commitment to my mindfulness practice for these 40 days to journal at least 5 minutes every day. One of the things I do as part of my mindfulness practice is to [...]
As part of The Shift Network Peace Ambassador program, starting on Friday, April 1st, a group of us are commiting to 40 consecutive days of a mindfulness practice. I’m choosing to meditate for a minimum of 20 minutes each day, but each person can choose their own daily mindfulness practice whether it’s yoga, prayer, journaling [...]
