Mary Walsh https://www.mmimindful.com/listings/mary-walsh/ Tue, 28 Dec 2021 23:21:59 +0000 https://www.mmimindful.com/?post_type=listings&p=1618 Mary is a Certified Meditation and Mindfulness Teacher through the world renowned McLean Meditation Institute (MMI).  Mary has an open mind and a kind heart. She enjoys attending yoga classes. Mary began her journey of self discovery and de-stressing her life about ten years ago. She was enjoying the positive changes in her life but felt a disconnect, something was missing. She started meditating occasionally on her own for about a year using various internet guided meditations. One day Mary was speaking to her Yoga instructor about her feelings of disconnect and hitting a wall with her personal growth. Her Yoga instructor suggested that Mary try a meditation class through MMI.  Mary attended an in person class and she found what she was looking for, she felt at ease, connected, and at home. Soon after, Mary applied to become a meditation teacher through MMI. The rewards of Mary’s new meditation practice have changed her life for the better and resonate through every aspect of her daily life – she’s happier, sleeps better, feels more focused on the present, and experiences a consistent connection to all of life. Mary specializes in working with people new to meditation and those who are looking to deepen their practice. Mary has been a long time active member of AFG and enjoys service at many levels.

Every Day is a Gift, Be Present for it.
