FINDING FAMILY-FRIENDLY RESORTS TO PRACTICE
TRANQUILITY
Finding moments of peace in our hectic lives can
be the difference between living a life of
happiness or constant turmoil. In addition,
practicing mindfulness, meditation, yoga, and
relaxing in a mineral bath benefit your health in
many ways. When thinking of meditative practices,
we usually only consider ourselves. However,
including your partner, family or both on
your journey toward a healthy mind, spirit, and
body may be the very getaway you need to take
together to recharge. At Soap Lake Natural Spa
Resort, we have more amenities than meditation,
the practice of mindfulness, and yoga. Theres
beach volleyball, sand toys for the kids,
watercraft rentals, and frisbee gold for all
ages! So, if you have a member in your party that
finds chilling out to be something different than
meditation, there are activities to keep them
busy, too.

WHAT IS MINDFULNESS?
Although mindfulness and meditation are often
used interchangeably, they are different.
Mindfulness is a technique used to help you tune
into your life experience in the present moment
when meditating and when you are not. Mindfulness
can be practiced all day long and will teach you
to listen to your body better than you have in
the past. When used with meditation, mindfulness
is a technique to find awareness of your breath,
the sensations of your body, feelings, and
thoughts. The goal of mindfulness is to bring
yourself into a state of calm relaxation, which
is what our natural state would be without the
outside stressors of life. However, practicing
mindfulness takes time because it is a learned
technique that can be used while meditating and
calming your mind and body.

THE BENEFITS OF MINDFULNESS
The benefits of mindfulness are a healthier mind
and body due to your attention to its needs. We
need more than food and exercise to stay healthy,
and learning mindfulness, whether when meditating
or not, can increase your overall well-being by
releasing stress and clearing your
mind. Mindfulness is awareness of the present,
the here and now. It can teach you to let go of
the past, worry, anxiety, and judgment.
Meditation and mindfulness practiced daily will
give you peace in the middle of the storm, no
matter your situation.

HOW TO PRACTICE MINDFULNESS
Like any skill, mindfulness must be practiced
daily to enjoy its benefits. Whether you practice
while meditating, or working your way through
your day, learning to practice mindfulness takes
time. It also requires attention to your body,
thoughts, and feelings. The following tips will
help you journey toward a mindful life and a more
peaceful existence with yourself, your family,
friends, and even strangers. To begin, commit to
your journey to learn to be mindful. Since
mindfulness is a way of observing and perceiving,
the practice can be developed with meditation,
exercises such as yoga, and deep breathing
exercises that help cleanse your body.

WHAT IS MICRO-MINDFULNESS?
It is precisely what it says and is accomplished
by practicing mindfulness in small bits, all day
long, and even when waking and going to
sleep. Micro-mindfulness will help you release
your mind from negative thoughts, past hurts, and
future trepidation. If you work hard to develop
this skill, mindfulness is a learned behavior
that takes practice and attention. Although
spoken with the word meditation, mindfulness
comes from the medicine of psychology instead of
being a spiritual practice. However, the two
approaches marry well and can help you become
healthier and happier.
