This Is Home for Lawyers Exploring Mindfulness

Hey there!

Welcome to the Brilliant Legal Mind blog! I created this space to help other lawyers and professionals learn about mindfulness meditation, yoga, self-compassion, and other mind-body practices. I have more than 150 posts that explain the basics of mindfulness, show how you can use it in action, and help you learn how to bring mindfulness into your life and work.

What Does the Name Mean?

When we use the term “brilliant” we often mean “smart,” or “talented” or “insightful.” But the term has other meanings too. It can also refer to a very bright light or the clarity and cut of a diamond.

Mindfulness practices have become a cornerstone of my stress management as a lawyer. They keep my mind clear, sharp, and bright so I can better serve my clients and community.

In this blog, I will show you how you can learn about mindfulness, compassion, yoga, and more so that you can take your mind from burdened to brilliant.

Who Started this Blog?

As explained more below, Claire E. Parsons founded the blog in December, 2020. She has more than a decade of meditation experience, has been teaching mindfulness and compassion for more than 5 years, and is trained in mindfulness, compassion, yoga, and more. As the author of two books, she loves writing and saw a need for more ways to help lawyers and professionals learn about the benefits of mindfulness practice in a way that spoke to their lives.
