Counselling Service: Mindfulness Workshop Updated
Mindfulness helps us become conscious of the intricacies of all that is happening both within us (physical sensations, thoughts, emotions etc.) and outside of us (smell, sound, sight etc.) in any given moment. It is a way of being with our self and the world, which brings us into direct contact with our present moment experiencing. Research has shown that it can have a positive effect on our physical and mental wellbeing.
An individual discipline of specific mindful practices need to be established to develop a more mindful way of being. This includes mindful meditation, mindful movement and mindful attending to the body.
This linked pair of workshops will help you to start and develop these practices. Focus will mostly be on the doing but there will also be opportunity to explore some of the concepts of mindfulness.
Please wear comfortable clothing and bring something to lie on.
