Happy July 6, 2021 – Mindfulness & Flow: Bubbles
Good Morning Yogis! We are in the middle of a special Santosha and Mindfulness Summer Fun Month to align with July’s Anti-Boredom Month.
Today is a KISS (Keep it Super Simple) Day with a simple Fun Practice… this KISS Day is extra fitting on International Kissing Day! Check out this month’s Introduction for more on mindfulness, flow, and Tea Ceremony – my recommended substitute practice for any suggested daily Fun Practice this month you do not want to try. We will have 31 different practices and activities to at minimum beat boredom for Anti-Boredom Month, and hopefully help you experience a flow state.

Today’s Positive Practice suggestion
Today’s Daily Yogi Practice is to try today’s Anti-Boredom / mindfulness / flow Activity: Bubbles! Today is a KISS simple day, but you can turn a fun and simple childhood pastime such as blowing bubbles into a mindful practice and your own Zen activity. You can make this as simple or as complex as you want, and taking a step back and observing your approach can be a way to learn more about yourself.
Bubbles
Blowing bubbles is a simple activity. There are three main considerations: Solution, Wand, and Technique.
Bubble Solution
I found multi-packs of bubbles at grocery or dollar stores for very reasonable prices – under $5 for 4-6 bottles with wands included. Share the extras with friends or family! Most bubble solution is more than just dish soap. Additives often include corn syrup, glycerine, gelatin, or food coloring. I recommend getting the multi-packs of bubbles, and refilling with your own DIY solution if needed.
BUBBLE Wand
You may want to upgrade to a Bubble Wand or Bubble Guns if you find you or your family truly love bubbles. However, the wands included with the standard bubbles at the local store work fine for me! Do not fret if you have a simple wand.. I made my own DIY wand with a bobby pin and key ring that works well for blowing large round bubbles, or check out this huge list of DIY wands!
Technique
This is where your mindful practice will come in. Try to develop your own best technique for blowing bubbles! Test speed, try blowing into vs with the wind, blow some bubbles into the trees or grass. Get the kids or pets involved – this is a great fun back-to-basics activity for the family. Or, set up video or be quick and get pictures or your bubbles!
Try to calmly take notice when your thoughts drift back to the past or forward to the future. Try to bring yourself back to and fully immerse yourself in the present moment by focusing on the sight, sounds, smells, taste, or feel of your surroundings.
