THIS IS EVERYTHING.

I was invited to speak to the graduating nursing class at Rowan College of South Jersey this morning.

I presented “Mindful at the Bedside” — 90 minutes of insights and practices for finding more ease and clarity at the bedside and beyond.

It’s an introduction to mindfulness, and yet so much more.

We discuss mindfulness. The nervous system. We discuss how ease and calm are not boring, but instead are the platforms that make it possible to bring the best of ourselves to a situation. How calm helps us show how differently for ourselves, our colleagues and our patients. We talked about stress. What it is. How it shows up in the body. We talked about how even low grade stress can, over a long enough timeline, lead to burnout. THAT. We had THAT conversation — naming burnout, and talking about how prevalent it is.

And even amidst all this content there were three different mindfulness practice sessions. And there was laughter. So much laughter.

Nothing helps learning so much as laughter.

This is what I needed in nursing school.

I am honored to be in the position I am — to name some and the best and most difficult parts of bedside care, as well as provide tools to navigate both.

These are the mornings and opportunities that fill my heart. This is why I did the Meditation Teacher Training I did. So one day I could turn to my colleagues and offer meaningful help.

This quote has been visiting me over and over for the last few days, so I wanted to share it

So often we wait until we are anxious, stressed, overwhelm or completely run through before thinking about something we can do to take care of and tend to ourselves

It’s like we’re waiting for our house to catch fire before thinking about giving ourselves a glass of water

When we learn to practice meditation we learn how to recognize and live from a place of wholeness and love that is always already present

Rather than only tending to ourselves after everything has fallen apart — we begin to live a life where love leads

Does your story sound like this?

“So long as I meet everyone else’s expectations, and everyone else’s needs are met then — and ONLY then — is it OK for me to feel relaxed, at ease and content?”

If so, you’re not alone.

Many people grow up in situations where their sense of worth and ability are tied to other people’s expectations and conditions.

In turn we learn that love is conditional. And we love ourselves “if and only if” we are meeting certain expectations

Lovingkindness meditation helps us reclaim our innate ability to extend love and compassion to ourselves without condition. What it looks like is: even in hard moments, when we think we’ve fallen short, we can still extend love and compassion to ourselves.

Reclaiming this ability to extend unconditional love to ourselves can be life changing.

Love blooms us.

One of the greatest secrets is held within your own heart. It is your ability not only to recognize but to grow your ability to feel love for yourself, in relationship, and in connection with the wild & wondrous world.

Incredibly, there is a practice, a meditation, to recognize and begin to grow this lively and loving heart.

(also known as metta) meditation enables us to connect with our innate ability to tend to ourselves with greater love and compassion, and to connect more fully with others.
