Mrs. Bubble makes her own ...


Another way we can be good to ourselves is to bathe. Use your senses. Begin with your favorite body shampoo and fill the tub with warm bubbles and begin to melt your body into the heated water. Gently begin by taking deep breathes in and out until you can really feel yourself floating. Imagine yourself in a safe, beautiful space, alone or with your mate, and smell the air, feel your skin and allow your breathe to continue to flow until you feel deeply relaxed. "A picture is worth 1000 words, but a bath doesn't need any but a long deep sigh" alison leigh, pretend poet

Awareness, Consciousness, Being awake

Mindfulness is a not only a state of being, but also a state of AWARENESS. Being aware means that you are conscious enough to know that you are here, in the present. Consciousness has many implications, but to keep things simple, I will go by consciousness and "being conscious" to mean that we are awake and not in the middle of our sleeping cycle. We are awake, doing our jobs, tending to our family, buying groceries, etc. I realize many people might jump on this, but again, i am not speaking through any particular lens except the one i am using to try and help you understand this concept in a way that simplifies things.

When you sleep, you are in an altered state of consciousness. When you wake up, you are still, "here", but now you have entered a new state of consciousness called, being awake.
