EVERY DAY MINDFULNESS FOR MODERN LIVING
’When Mindfulness works together with other factors such as equanimity and wisdom, it allows us to see the conditions around us clearly, relinquish our need to control things, and develop the strength and poise to respond skillfully to whatever is happening’
OREN JAY SOFER
Mindfulness
Mindfulness is the practice of coming off the autopilot way in which many of us live our lives.
It is about paying attention on purpose to the present moment and noticing without judgement what is going on in the mind, body and immediate environment.
This can help people of all ages develop physical and mental resilience, supporting us to navigate the complexities of our fast changing world and life’s up and downs.
Mindful meditation encourages curiosity and awareness, connection of the body and the mind, reflecting on the here and now. It is a practice of observing with kind attention what is, without striving to push or change things.
Mindfulness as a cultivated practice is increasingly considered good medicine, prescribed by the NHS for stress and widely researched for it’s health benefits.
Nature Connection
Nature-based practice helps us to cultivate and reawaken our connection to the natural world, recognizing that we part of nature, rather than separate and independent.
Connecting more deeply with nature in this way, we experience it’s beneficial effect on our body, our mind and our inner emotional landscape. It also brings about change in our attitude towards the natural environment, not only around us but within us.
The increase in ecological disconnect, urbanization, climate anxiety and spending more time in our online worlds means there has never been a more urgent time in our lives to encourage re-connection to nature.
