| October 31, 2018 Mindful News Happy Halloween! For a professed sugar addict, Halloween can be a very scary day! I used to worry about having candy in the house for fear I would eat it all before I gave it away! I would hate having the sensations of craving in my body (teeth clenching, stomach burning) whenever I walked past our kitchen counter with tempting treats. For years, I simply could not keep tempting food in the house, much less on my counter! That is, until this year. By applying mindfulness with self-compassion and the principles I learned from Judson Brewer 's Eat Right Now app, I can finally keep treats on my kitchen counter without those pesky cravings (see my counter, at left). I am so very grateful! Upcoming Events Sharon Salzberg is coming to South Florida! Many of you know the beloved Sharon Salzberg , mindfulness teacher, author and co-founder of Insight Meditation Society in Barre Massachusetts. She is coming back to South Florida on the following dates and locations. Please take the opportunity to see her if you can. There are always pearls of wisdom to attain from her! Sunday afternoon , November 11, from 11 to 2 PM in Boca Raton The Power of Love: A Healing Workshop in Parkland with Sharon Salzberg. Admission is free. Monday evening , November 12th from 7 to 9 PM in Miami. An evening with Sharon Salzberg at Innergy Meditation . Admission is $45 5-Day Teacher-Led Silent Retreat at the Duncan Center in Delray Beach 1/15 to 1/20/19 Early Bird Ends 11/23! A silent retreat is like an immersion course. It creates an environment which enables us to see the ways we create difficulties in our lives and to discover a freedom of heart. The spirit and practice of loving kindness will be woven throughout the retreat experience. This retreat is modeled on the MBSR principles developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn at the Center for Mindfulness in the University of Massachusetts Medical School. Check-in begins at 4 pm on Tuesday, and the retreat ends at 1 pm Sunday. Meals at the Duncan Conference Center will be lacto-ovo-vegetarian.
