Unlike a mindfulness “challenge,” Nalu aims for continuity of practice supported by ourselves and each other. We frame our journey as cooperation and collaboration, in contrast to competition.
*Nalu is Hawaiian for wave. Also, mindful observation.** Science and tradition view matter and energy as made fundamentally of vibrations or waves. As such, our lived experience comes in flow.
**We use the Hawaiian ‘Nalu’ to honor indigenous wisdom everywhere and elude inferences that arise from words in the world’s principal languages.
Nalu| Mind the Flow was created live during the usual @2:50 meetups. We captured the recordings and offer them for free playback here, so you can mind the flow anytime from anywhere. During our journey, we followed our protagonist, Nalu*, as they learned to mind the flow. We practiced what we learned for a few minutes each day.
Whether new to mindfulness or with an existing practice, our open @2:50 community welcomed people from all walks of life and worldwide for more than 11,390 person/minutes together. Ten minutes a day for 28 days helped us build our insight practices, learn better how to “mind our flow,” and live more peace.
§ Participants contributed to our collective mood board with a one-click color poll daily. The wheel of colors records more than 500 poll entries. The image at the top of the page illustrates the frequency of each color chosen on each day. Participants received a poster visualization that shows the daily totals over time.
