Mindfulness with Barbara Newell

One Minute - Guided Meditation

Barbara Newell

A short one minute guided meditation for beginners seeking mindfulness.

Barbara Newell is a mindfulness and meditation. For over 12 years, she trained and taught as a Buddhist nun in Plum Village in France under Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. During that time, she not only mastered her skills, but had the opportunity to teach throughout the world as part of ongoing retreats.

Barbara left monastic life and returned to the United States in 2015 with a mission to bring the knowledge and experience she had gained to a wider audience.  Since then, she has worked with numerous other mindfulness experts including Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield.

Barbara brings a unique perspective to mindfulness and meditation, as she was an accomplished lawyer in Washington, DC prior to her monastic life.  She understands the stresses and challenges of modern life and can provide practical advice and guidance on how to successfully integrate techniques of mindfulness into a busy schedule.

This is just a very short few moments, too. Relax and reset. Just finding your position sitting or perhaps standing. I'm just feeling into the body, noticing any sensations in the feet the seed, perhaps in your hands and becoming aware of the breath coming in and out. Just welcoming yourself home for these few breaths, almost like drinking a glass of fresh water. That's the pause, breathing in and breathing out.
