After years of trying to understand myself, raising kids, and serving others through business, I practiced many different techniques. Each technique serves its purpose to launch me forward on my journey, and mindfulness practice is the one I kept coming back to.

Just the other day, I asked my 8-year-old autistic son to clean up his toys after finishing playing. He broke down and had a tantrum. Because of my mindfulness practice, I can witness my emotions arising and passing and the thoughts that came afterward. I was able to hold the space for both of us and allowed us to express what need to be expressed. We were able to synchronize, collaborate, and came up with a new solution because I was mindful of my own emotions and thoughts. I applied that awareness to my business, my interaction with my partner and parent, and my own health physically and mentally.

I invite you to join me in practicing awareness of your own emotions and thoughts. It can uplift your life to where you would like to be. With the tools and the awareness of your own mind, you can align with your life force to experience wholehearted well-being.

經過多年的內在探索、親子育兒、以及用對話服務中，我學習且嘗試了許多不同的技巧。每一種技巧都有其獨特的用途，可以真實幫助我在人生旅途中踏出更遠的一步，而正念練習則是我一直沒有停止使用的一種技巧。不論我學了什麼方法，我發現，我還是會回到正念練習。

就在前幾天，我請我八歲的自閉症兒子在玩完後收拾玩具，他突然崩潰了。由於我平日練習正念，我可以目睹自己情緒的湧現和消退，以及接著出現的念頭。我的覺察習慣可以為 自己和兒子 創造一個空間，並讓雙方有機會表達自己的情感和需求。正因為我能和自己的情緒和念頭在一起，我們得以連結、對話，並一起找到新的解決方案。我把這種練習 也應用於我的助人、與伴侶和父母的互動，以及提升我的身心健康。

邀請你加入我，一起練習正念，關注自己情緒和念頭的變化。一起提升生活品質，讓你體驗自由與真正的喜悅。藉由了解自己的心靈，與自己的生命力相融合，感受全面的幸福感。
