Mindfulness Opens the Door

Mindfulness helps you manage stress. It also helps you reconnect with your inner source of happiness. Nature has gifted you with an amazing capacity for conscious awareness. In addition to helping you respond to danger. it also helps you to remain present, focused, and calm, no matter what’s going on in your life. Three awareness skills are key to both managing your stress and being fully present, or 'entering the Now.'

Like your muscles, these awareness skills need to be developed and strengthened. Mindfulness draws upon a range of easy exercises to help you:

• Notice what's happening in your body, mind, and surroundings

• Identify patterns like distraction, judgment, or reactivity

• Intentionally shift attention instead of running on autopilot.

When you’re mindful, it’s easier to move past stressful thoughts and feelings and enter the Now. Here, your body quickly relaxes. Your mind quiets. A soothing sense of peace washes over you. You might even feel some euphoria blooming inside. Immersed in this flow state, you can’t help but feel happy.

Practice mindfulness often, and many other benefits come your way.

Mindfulness Works—Science Agrees

Hundreds of research studies have reported on a broad range of benefits associated with mindfulness. For example, a recent analysis of 12 randomized controlled trials found that mindfulness-based interventions led to significant reductions in blood pressure, as well as decreased anxiety, depression, and perceived stress.

Whether you’re new to mindfulness or returning with fresh intentions, you're in the right place. This is your invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and enter a new relationship with the Now.

Hi, I’m Paul Nelson. I’ve practiced and taught mindfulness for many years. One thing I’ve seen over and over again is how easy it is to lose touch with our inner capacity for happiness. Stress creeps in, old habits take over, and before we know it, we barely get through the day.

As a mindfulness coach, my goal is to help you develop a personalized practice that meets your unique needs and life challenges. I use this practical, compassionate approach because it directly addresses what’s keeping you from falling asleep, while gently waking you up to the peace and joy already present in your life.
