What best helped with my Mindfulness Practice was an app called Mindfulness Coach. Mindfulness practices before bed help me to fall asleep and sleep better.

REFLECTION QUESTIONNature Practice Gratitude for EarthKathleen Dean Moore says that a sense of gratitude leads to a sense of moral obligation. Do you agree? How can we cultivate a sense of gratitude as individuals, and as a society?
