Multicultural Mindfulness: Nourishing The Soul

by Nora D'Ecclesis

Explore the mindfulness practices of Hygge, Keyif, Frilufsliv, Gemutlichkeit and many more as you craft your own practice from the traditional customs of other countries. The non-judgmental acceptance of the feelings that emerge in our thoughts and emotions, in the present, manifests into a lifelong mindful practice. The similarities of the various modalities found around the world to practice mindfulness are more numerous than the differences in some cases than the activities of a culture. They are passed down from generation to generation with the name of the activity rather than the more trending term of mindfulness. Make no mistake, the names change from countries and cultures around the globe, but the intention is identical. Join me on a journey of how mindfulness exists in other cultures with the diversity and of the way things are done in other countries to formulate a lifestyle of staying in the present.

Italy

The section on Italian mindfulness was mouth watering, but while visualizing a rare t bone from Chianina cows The next page caught my eye..How amazing to read of the walking path known as the Cinque Terre. I could almost feel myself making the climb as I did the visualization exercise walking the Cinque Terre overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. The villages all sound wonderful winding upward in a silent exploration. My goal is that walk next year with my husband to enhance my mindfulness practice.
