Mindfulness with Leia - 04 Desire

The desire to feel like we are getting somewhere This might sound like I want to feel more flexible. Why don’t I feel more peaceful yet?

This kind of wanting is tricky because it is hidden behind your good intentions. This form of desire attaches itself to results. Thinking these thoughts takes you out of the present moment because you are chasing something this just out of reach.

Mindfulness and Qigong are about being and not getting. Every moment is a chance to return to your breath and reconnect with yourself and the present moment.

During your meditation today, you might feel calm or cloudy or distracted. All are perfectly normal feelings. Let yourself be exactly as you are.
Let the practice meet you there.
