"It's been said that the most important thing is to know what you really want. The second most important thing, and where many men fail, is to ensure you have support on your path. I'm inspired by Marc and Josh's vision of creating a safe and sacred space to explore what it means to be a man in today's challenging times." - Jonathan Foust, Meditation Teacher

In a recent blog post, I wrote, 

" The most important job is to begin again.  In mindfulness meditation, a core practice is returning your attention when it becomes lost. You may find yourself lost in thought. And that is okay. The point isn't to perfect your meditation or empty your mind. Instead, it is to return over and over, no matter how far your mind has traveled or how long it has wandered from the present moment. We use our breath, our body, our senses to gently guide us back to now, the only moment that there really is." 

This practice is quite simple really. You might want to try it out for 7 Mindful Minutes: Begin Again.

Scientifically, we are learning that when we practice returning our attention to the matter at hand, the person in front of us, or simply the beauty of our environment, we literally train our brain to incline towards that action. Neuroplasticity is what allows us to build positive new habits and stick with them. Check it out:
