Friday Morning Meditation with Hummingbirds ... September 9 2020

We are having very cool weather here in the Heart of Texas due to a cloudy and rainy week.  I am sitting out on the back porch watching the Cardinals searching for worms and Hummingbirds zooming in and out of the porch.  
I hope your day is going well and that it is peaceful and calm wherever you are.
Have a Wonderful Weekend. Remember to Breathe and Remember to Smile.  Smiling generates Endorphines !!!

King of the Wind ~ Chapter One

Today we are starting a new book, "King of the Wind" by Marguerite Henry.  This story is about the Godolphin Arabian and is based on the life of an Arabian Stallion who was a grandsire of thoroughbred horses. 
Some of the chapters are short, so I will probably be reading more than one chapter per week.  Let me know in the comments how you like the story.
Thanks for listening. ~ Mary Christopher

Sunday Morning Meditation for Sunday September 6 2020

Here we are at a new week.  The weather is beautiful today.  Several Butterflies came by as I was recording, always a joyful sight.  
How are you doing?  I hope wherever you are and whatever you are doing that everything is going well.  We definitely live very challenging times or we could say, "very interesting times".  
The meditations we do on my podcast and in meditation class are designed to help us deal with our daily stress and the stress of "challenging times".  One reason is that stress, especially ongoing stress, has a very negative effect on our Immune Systems.  Especially now, we need our Immune Systems to be functioning as effectively as possible. 
On Saturday, September 19, I am offering a workshop specifically designed to reduce stress and Strengthen our Immune Systems.  If you are interested and would like more information, message me on my Facebook page, Mary Christopher, or send an email to mary@justbeingmindful.com
Have a wonderful week.  Remember to Breathe and Remember to Smile.  Smiling generates endorphins.
Thanks for listening.  ~ Mary Christopher

Meditation on a Rainy Afternoon ...

I was planning to sit under one of my favorite trees to do this meditation, but there was thunder with some lightening and a little bit of rain.  So, I decided to sit on the back porch to do my meditation.
Such a peaceful and quiet afternoon.  A few Hummingbirds came to the feeder during our meditation.  Their wings make a whirring sound and they have a delightful chirp.  You may be able to hear on this recording.
Let me know how you are doing and how these meditations are working for you.
Take good care of yourself and remember to Breathe.  
Thanks for listening ~ Mary Christopher

This morning I am sitting underneath a tree, on a hillside, enjoying the view and the breeze.  This is such a wonderful way to start the day and I get up here as often as I can.
