Submit Your Story

We want to hear your story. It may just be what someone needs to hear to start their practice, continue on their path, or provide a little bit of comfort knowing they are not alone.

Help us to showcase the many faces of meditation or mindfulness and myriad of results. We want your kind of meditation and mindfulness, walking, running, playing music, painting, cooking, what ever your practice, we would love for you to share it.

So tell us how you found peace and calm in your everyday. What it has done for your life. What it feels like for you. Pick one topic or all of them, just tell us your story.

Guidelines

Please review these guidelines before submitting. 

  1. Bring the soul and personality. Humor is as good as heartfelt emotion. We want to know what it’s like to be you, to meditate like you. What has it done for you, what has it changed in you. Don’t try too hard, just open up and share your world.
  2. Our focus is meditation and mindfulness, all shapes, styles and philosophies, as long as it’s about the practice of being present, fully present in the moment, we’re interested.
  3. There is no hard rule on length, but as a rough guide, try to keep stories under 1,000 words. If 25 words packs a punch, great.
  4. Please provide a 100 word description of who you are, what you do, where you live so we can share a bit about you.
  5. If you have a photograph specific to the story, or one that’s a great compliment to the story we would surely appreciate it.
  6. We don’t yet pay for stories; this is purely for the sake of growing a community. However, we are happy to link to a blog or business you run as part of your byline.
