Starting with Awareness

Learning is about paying attention.

So if we're setting out to help students learn - or to grow ourselves - we must start with awareness. True teaching and learning about anything requires some cultivation of mindfulness, some cognizance of what we're doing and what surrounds us. Awareness of what's around and within is a solid foundation for understanding and learning.

Here's a super-simple 20 second welcome to this blog which explores my experiences and new learning about mindfulness in ecological learning: Sit or stand (or whatever) at your screen right now and simply follow one breath as it enters through your nose or mouth, fills your lungs, and then exits your body. Just notice where your body tenses or relaxes, and pay attention to what your mind may be thinking or processing.

Sweet! Thanks for taking a tiny step forward with me!

I welcome you to learn along with me.
