Mindfulness will help you make your Present Moment a Pleasant Moment.
You hear the word mindfulness and wonder how to find it when everything in your life feels like it's all over the place. It's not that hard when you know how to start a simple mindfulness practice. It gets better as you work it daily with a commitment to self-love.
Have you wondered how to experience peace and calm even when you feel like your world's falling apart?
Every day, I take a break from the outer world to tend to everything brewing in my inner world.
Truly, the world you live in is not what's out there, it's what's within.
Karmic Healer, Coach Keya
Over nearly two decades of working as a hypnotherapist, healer, and spiritual life coach, the common thread among all my clients is either anxiety, grief, or holding onto grudge(s). Things like "he said", "she said", or "they did", etc. You get the point. It's a feeling of helplessness that binds those struggling.
The language you speak, whether within or verbally, is critical to creating the life you are meant to live, you desire, period!
To live with anxiety or grief is hard. There is a way out, and it is about believing that your 'present moment' is a "pleasant moment".
It's a meditative, mindful process. Take a few breaths: inhale, hold, exhale, and pause. Repeating this 3-4 times will make you feel lighter, calmer, and more peaceful.
There is no need to rush between your inhalation and exhalation. When you hold your inhalation for at least 3-7 seconds before your exhalation, this is where your meditation is happening.
That is when you are truly being one with yourself.
Also, after you exhale, pause for at least another 3-7 seconds. There's no need to rush to inhale. These 3-7 seconds help your mind remain thought-free, your heart be calmer, and you experience peace.
After each exhalation, you could repeat a mantra of your choice. One of my favorites is what I learned from Thay Thich Nhat Hanh, the Zen Monk, who reintroduced the word mindfulness to the world.
It is: "I've arrived. I'm home!" It makes me feel secure in my body. It's both centering and grounding.
You could also say "present moment, pleasant moment". Or, make one up that you feel like in the moment. For over two decades, I have said, "All is well!" I liked it the first time I heard it.
Smile when you repeat these mantras. Smiling makes you happier, and who can't use some happiness?
Please do this as often as you need, or whenever you remember. Ideally, 6-8 times a day:
- When you wake up
- Before breakfast
- After breakfast
- Before lunch
- After lunch
- Before supper
- After supper
- Before bed
If you miss a few times, it's okay! Forgive yourself and be glad you remembered now, and breathe.
Should you choose to, you can do this every 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes. When I began this practice, I had a Japanese bell ring on my phone every fifteen minutes. My daughter once said, "I think your phone is crazy. It just rang, and it's ringing again." I said, "That's how fast time flies."
Now it dings every forty-five minutes from 5 am to 10 pm. Once every 45 minutes, I return to my breath and affirm: "May all beings be well and happy!" It's like sending out a prayer to the world.

Once a client said, "Everyone needs a Keya, if only to decompress."
You are loved, m'dear!
