To bring together a community of people interested in training their mind through meditation, psychology and art. With the intention to share tools and resources that I have learned and which have allowed me to live a peaceful, free and contemplative lifestyle. Here you will find tools for the cultivation of emotional and mental balance, developing your creativity, working for the benefit of other beings, and to design a contemplative and balanced lifestyle.<\/p>\n

Through our creativity we not only express our emotions, but we also contemplate the world differently. A great Tibetan master said \u201cThe art of meditative experience is a perpetually growing process in which we begin to appreciate our surroundings in life, whatever they may be. Art, from this point of view, is to be able to see the uniqueness of everyday experience.\u201d\u00a0 Through meditation we familiarize our mind with new ways of thinking, speaking and doing. We also decrease our mental afflictions and find greater emotional and cognitive balance, as well as improved, attention, concentration, and mindfulness. We also develop greater wisdom about what means to live a meaningful life and find Genuine Happiness.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We have a responsibility to work with our minds, developing our potential to be of benefit to humanity. You have that ability!<\/p>\n

To begin, take a tour of this site, explore and put into practice all the tips, advice and strategies we have shared in previous articles. Join a course and start your meditation practice. Also sign up to receive news and resources on your email.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I'm also a contemplative\u00a0artist<\/a> and I have a master's degree in psychology. I've studied and practiced buddhist philosophy and meditation for more than 15 years.\u00a0Peace & Mind<\/a>\u00a0is dedicated to people who want to know their\u00a0mind, transform negative habits into positive ones, have greater emotional and cognitive balance, have tools to better manage their\u00a0time and their\u00a0goals, develop their creativity and apply it to live a meaningful life. Sharing emotional balance and mental training \u00a0methods that come from both the Western Psychology and Eastern\u00a0Contemplative Traditions.\r\n

Vision for Peace & Mind<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nI created this site to bring together a\u00a0community of people interested in training their\u00a0mind through meditation, psychology and art. With the intention to share tools and resources that I have learned and which have allowed me to live a peaceful, free and contemplative lifestyle. Here you will find tools for the cultivation of emotional and mental balance, developing your creativity, working for the benefit of other beings, and to design a contemplative and balanced lifestyle.\r\n\r\nThrough our creativity we not only express our emotions, but we also contemplate\u00a0the world differently.\u00a0A great Tibetan master\u00a0said\u00a0\"The art of meditative experience is a perpetually growing process in which we begin to appreciate our surroundings in life, whatever they may be. Art, from this point of view, is to be able to see the uniqueness of everyday experience.\"\u00a0 Through meditation we familiarize our mind with new ways of thinking, speaking and doing. We also decrease our mental afflictions and find greater emotional and cognitive balance, as well as improved, attention, concentration, and mindfulness. We also develop greater wisdom about what means to live a meaningful life and find Genuine Happiness. This is what I teach in my Contemplative Art Workshops, Meditation Retreats and Personalized Coaching.\r\n\r\nWe have a responsibility to work with our minds, developing our potential to be of benefit to humanity. You have that ability!\r\n\r\nTo begin, take a tour of this site, explore and put into practice all the tips, advice and strategies I have shared in previous articles. Join one of my courses and meditation groups. Also sign up to receive news and resources on your email. And if you're ready to start a daily meditation training and\/or personal retreats send me a message to receive a free personalized coaching session.\r\n\r\nYour friend\r\n\r\nAlma\r\n\r\np.s.
