Hi Friend,

As summer comes into it's fullness, I find myself wanting to create and get things done. Sometimes, I need help to stay focused and not burn out.
                                    
I truly enjoy finding ways to make work a meditation. Insight Timer is one of those mindful resources that helps me be in that peaceful and productive space.

This is not about sitting silently cross-legged, chanting OM and getting nothing done. This is about bringing clarity and focus to whatever I am doing with a peace that nurtures my creativity and productivity.

It has been proven that mindfulness and breathing breaks are great for inspiring and nurturing the creative mind. I like to integrate them into my work space.

The Insight Timer app is my favorite way to do just that. It was created as a meditation app and provides the peaceful yet empowering sound of Tibetan singing bowls. It is available on your iPhone or Android, and includes additional resources to help you track and enjoy meditation.

Watch this video to learn more, then follow the simple steps to make your work a meditation:
You can finish watching on my blog or here.

Simple steps to make work a meditation:
  1. Choose your favorite singing bowl.
  2. Set the timer and start or interval chimes.
  3. Start the timer and focus on your intention for the time you will work.
  4. Breathe with the first bell (bowl) and get started.
  5. When the final chime/bell goes off, take another breath and get centered. You may even connect with your heart and intuition.
  6. If you will continue you working, move a bit while breathing before starting again.
  7. Rinse and repeat steps #1-#6 (if you have more work to do)
When I integrate this way of working into my day overwhelm melts away, I feel as though I have more time, and I am checking in and staying more focused on what I want to create. It seems to work best when I set the timer for 1 hour intervals and take little breaks. I invite you to try this.

Enjoy this way of working and being. See how it provides more peace of mind, while increasing your energy, creativity and productivity. Share how it affects the way you work and how you feel in the comments on the blog or on my Facebook page.

Wishing you days of peace and productivity.

From my heart to yours.
