It is just a little reminder of tomorrow seminar 'Introduction to Mindfulness'. Welcome everyone to join me in a journey to Mindfulness!

Together, we will explore the benefits of Mindfulness and how we can apply it for a more enjoyable life.

So, let's come with an open mind to be entertained, to relax and experience some different taste in life.

In the meantime, I would like to share with you:

The Mindfulness Movie (http://www.themindfulnessmovie.com). You can watch it free online at: http://www.imdb.com/video/wab/vi1149545241/,  trailer of the award winning documentary 'Room to Breathe'. http://www.roomtobreathefilm.com.

and a short parable by Leo Tolstoy (a quick read): The Emperor’s Three Questions.

It is about a king who had everything he needed, but he had three questions that nagged at him.

What is the right time to do anything?
Who are the right people to listen to and work with?
What is the most important thing to do at all times?

He figured that if he knew the answers to these questions, he would be free of any anxiety, never stray in any matter and never have any issues.

You can find the parable here together with the 3 answers:
