There is a lot of misinformation out there about mindfulness. Modern media has misconstrued it to appear to be some sort of relaxation trick. This is far from the truth. Yes, mindfulness is evidence based to reduce our stress and anxiety but it is much more than that. It's about waking up-to all aspects of our lives. It's about feeling less caught in our heads with worry/over thinking/planning etc, and being able to meet the joyous moments of our lives, as well as the inevitable painful ones with clarity and compassion.
In this hour long experiential and interactive session you will have a chance to try out some simple mindfulness practices and meditations (including mindful eating), and learn what mindfulness is, and importantly, what it is not. We will also explore a little on the mechanics, and the neuroscience of mindfulness-how does it bring about these beneficial changes that show up in research over and over again!
Please bring raisins or dry fruit to this session if possible.
If you have struggled with mindfulness before, or are maybe on the sceptical side-this session is for you.
This event is taking place live from Dublin, Ireland. Please calculate the time difference if joining from elsewhere.
