The soul calls us to go within and explore the depths of who we are and what we wish to become. During times of inner solitude induced by mindfulness meditation, and mindfulness based stress reduction techniques, it can be easy to be sidetracked. Thoughts can stray to dreams once lost, past regrets, stress regarding daily personal, familial, and work obligations, or paralyzing fears about our ability to realize our future dreams.

The daily stress we place on our mind and body, and the unresolved conflicts we face, often sway us from tending to the soul’s inner calling. But the spirit within beacons us to develop heart felt understanding of the precious gift of life we are given.

Mindfulness is attentive awareness to the present moment. To be present in this moment without judgement, we train the body, the mind, and the spirit to let go of the troublesome worries, regrets, fears, anxiety, or stresses, common to our daily life. By going within, we open the door to our hidden spirit, that persistent voice that calls us to realize the fruits of our dreams.

The Stockton Therapy Network provides full scope meditative and mindfulness based therapeutic programs. As a practice, mindfulness, dream work, and integrated approaches to psychotherapy assists our individual growth. Being mindful is also an integral part of marriage and family counseling services, offering insight into the reason why we relate in the ways we do with those most close to us. By being present to the moment, emotional conflict decreases, while you learn new and effective ways to deal with personal, career, and familial stress. To be mindful, is to tend to the soul’s inner calling, while you plan for and advance confidently in the direction of your dreams.
