We recently wrapped our pilot event for the Level Up Guided Meditation Program and Green Tree Yoga & Meditation was our gracious host for the occasion. Jasmine guided the group through breathing exercises and additional techniques to help start and deepen a meditation practice, followed by a group discussion about common questions and obstacles that get in the way of incorporating meditation into everyday life. A great question that came up is one we think you’ll benefit from the answer to…

How do you find silence when everything around you is noisy?!

The name of that game is patience with your practice. Your practice is not about when the conditions will be ideal since there will most likely never be a “perfect” set of circumstances, but finding quiet in the mind is still available and gets easier with consistent repetition. Consistency gradually builds to a daily habit, and patience with yourself in the process is crucial to making sure you don’t quit before you even get started. The true growth is gained when you show up to the mat anyway, despite everything else that may be going on in your life. The conditions are ideal as soon as you make the decision to develop your practice.
If you’re in or around LA and want to join us for the next event and be a part of the conversation, we'll post details on our website for upcoming locations this winter. For those who aren’t local, we still got you covered with our new Black Zen Weekly Wellness. This guide is designed to give you a curated dose of weekly wellness in your inbox!

We find insights and great articles from thoughtful and inspiring sources to help give you a jolt of joy and nourishing food for thought to start your week off right. In one of our recent issues, we gathered a collection of five articles that covered everything from the surprising and unconventional habits of successful people (and it's not the ones you think!), wise words on how to stop comparing yourself to others and the secret advantage of grit and how hard times can transform you into a badass professional! Long story short, we go out of our way to find good stuff and share it with you.

FINAL THOUGHTS
With all of our new offerings, we are showing and proving ways to better your mindset, deepen your meditation practice, and rise up to the greatness that is inherently within you. One of the greatest benefits in taking time for ourselves is finding the renewed energy to jump back into our goals and workstreams with joy and a clear, uncluttered mind. When we work from this place in our personal and professional lives and stay truly present in our day-to-day, we start to experience the incredible fun and power found in what can only be referred to as flow.
Your girls are truly running their race and knocking down goals one by one. We hope you’re doing the same and would love to hear what projects you’re working on and how we might be able to help. We’re always looking for ways to collaborate, and who better to do that with than you!
Thank you again for joining us on this ride and feel free to reach out to us at any time. We'd love to hear from you.

"Though the practices which help you cultivate the ability to be in a flow state seem counter-intuitive in our fast-paced, goal-oriented world, they are integral to our success and happiness." - Jacob Devaney
