The search for happiness in everyday life
In our daily lives, we are often trapped in the memories of the past or in concerns about the future, neglecting the small moments that can really bring us joy. Diana Salas, educator in full attention practices, highlights that happiness could be closer than we think, in the small experiences that we often overlook.
An innovative proposal at Roc Blanc
This Friday, at 7 pm, the Hotel Roc Blanc will be the scene of a unique event that fuses art and gastronomy under the ‘mindfulness’ approach. Together with Salas, the winemaker Pierre Louis Dargere and the embroidery Nicolás Jover will offer a sensory experience that promises to connect the participants with the present through creativity and conscious tasting.
Embroidery as emotional expression
Nicolás Jover will guide the attendees in a embroidery workshop that is not only an art, but an active meditation form. Through colors and stitches, participants will learn to channel their emotions, thus stimulating creativity and providing a space for mental relaxation.
Wine tasting: a sensory trip
Pierre Louis Dargere will offer a tasting of the Les Hauts Bode of Talmont, famous for their organic methods. This component of the experience seeks that participants pay attention to the nuances of color, aroma and flavor, promoting an approach of ‘mindfulness eating’ that enhances the connection with what we consume.
The importance of living the present
Salas underlines the relevance of practicing full attention in a world that constantly distracts us. This practice is not only limited to formal meditation, which requires discipline and approach to breathing, but can also be integrated into daily activities, such as eating or even washing dishes. The key lies in disconnecting from the ‘autopilot’ and immersing itself at the present time.
Beyond multitasking
By avoiding the tendency to perform multiple tasks simultaneously, we can appreciate the subtleties of our daily experiences. This approach can help us relieve stress and anxiety, thus improving our mental health and general well -being.
Final reflections on full attention
Concluding with an Oscar Wilde event, Salas emphasizes that ‘living is the weird in the world. Most people exists and nothing else ‘. This event at ROC Blanc not only seeks to teach ‘mindfulness’ techniques, but also inspire participants to rediscover the beauty of living in the present.
