If you've been thinking about starting or establishing a regular mindfulness practice, I find it super helpful to have an intention for practicing. When I am teaching One-to-One, and even in Spiritual Friendship sessions where we're not actively pursuing the establishment of a meditation practice at all, setting an intention can be super powerful, acting as a way to orient around confusion and decision making. Even if we don't end up talking about your goals or intentions in specific, just knowing that there's an intended direction of travel sets up an atmosphere that supports their unfolding. As always, if you're looking for a crypto-native mindfulness teacher with a casual approach rooted in two-thousand-year-old-plus traditions, I'm your guy. Here's a page of Testimonials and a recent Substack Post on Meditation as an Art: https://j-hn.info/testimonials https://wonderfool.substack.com/p/the-art-of-meditation

Nobody knew when I was going through the toughest time of my life. People could have tried to help but I was in a state of not even trusting that I could be. I operated as if everything were normal, played roles everywhere, and spiralled behind closed doors. Nobody knew. The only thing you can truly @know is your own experience. The thoughts in your head may argue otherwise, but beyond direct experience, everything is a projection, a speculative guess at what someone else is thinking or feeling when they do X. Learning how to relate to your own experience is where all the major shifts can happen. It is through this work that you'll show up differently, people learn to treat you differently, and that you'll open to more ways of seeing what *could* be happening. Truthfully, you cannot know the experience of others. Accepting this limitation, there's only one place left to be; right here and now, with what is present in *your* experience directly. The question is: How do we work with our own mind?
