Bringing Mindfulness to Life
The world is a better place when we are caring for the seniors in our communities. Sharing mindful awareness practices with seniors helps them to cope with anxiety, depression and other chronic health conditions; strengthen their capacity for compassion toward themselves and others; engage in their community with greater ease; and enhance the quality of their lives.
It’s so easy to compare and judge, thinking that YOUR mind is the least focused one around. You know – forgetting words, losing things, wondering why you’ve just gone upstairs, jumping from thought to thought. A question I hear in EVERY SHINE session is, “How can I keep my mind from wandering?”
Here’s how we teach this in SHINE, using awareness of the breath as the anchor for attention.
As you juggle work and home life, do you find yourself looking for practical ways to create an oasis of calm?
Is your “noisy mind” filled with self-judging?
Do you feel constantly stressed at work?
Do you often react automatically to situations, wishing there was another response?
Come and nurture yourself at our monthly Nurturing Ourselves Through Mindfulness Workshop. Each month, we explore ways to bring mindfulness to life, using the acclaimed SHINE model.
