Mindfulness 2015   Another year of living mindfully and teaching Mindful Practice

1/4/2016

It was a wonderful year! Full of new beginnings, laughter, love, kindness and compassion!

​
Lots of new children joined the class and attended the various workshops throughout the year. I visited many schools and set up some simple Mindful activities for the children to do at home and at school. The wonderful thing about Mindfulness is that it is portable and everyone can give it a go!  !

We can all be Mindful each day for a few moments and truly reap the benefits.
Children young and old can practice Mindfulness... Mindfulness helps us to feel good and when we feel well we behave better we can enjoy life more.  When we change a negative pattern of thought we can begin then to be kinder to ourselves and to others. It all starts with the Mindful breath and a inward smile and wellness thought of ‘I am well ..I am okay ‘.
During our ‘Let’s chat it out!’ time, I often asked   the children (primary and young teens) What bothers you the most?  What makes you anxious?
99% said homework, tests and exams....... (Hmmm ...)

We live in a world where from  childhood we are judged and stressed by feeling we are not doing enough or feel we are not bright enough and can be only be validated by our achievements .... We are humans ‘doing’ rather than humans ‘being’.
I love seeing the children leave the Mindfulness session a little calmer, a little happier and It is delightful for me that each week they all come back to the class...
Children have chosen to miss a party or another weekly event in order to come to the mindfulness class. The more they come it seems they more they want to come!
‘Thursday is my favourite day’ said a 10 year old boy (who has become so much happier over the past year)   
‘Thursday’? I queried
‘Yes , Thursday!   It is the day I go to my Mindfulness class ‘
I guess that says it all!

I think by being mindful, a person can perceive happiness, love, gratification, and compassion. If all these things come in a single year, then no other year can be greater than this. But the question is can anybody tell me- what is mindfulness? Do you think- it is a therapy? Certainly not. It is a form of meditation. It allows a person to concentrate on the present. It is quite straightforward to practice mindfulness. But most interestingly, you can practice it in your zone of comfort. Thus, instead of ignoring it, you should practice it so that you can live longer and maintain a healthier life.
