Mindfulness can help you to stay calm, focused and better manage the pressures of life.
Everyone can benefit and enjoy Mindfulness, but you might like to try it especially if you are:
- feeling stressed or overwhelmed
- struggling to concentrate
- feeling like a failure
“The present is the only time that any of us have to be alive – to know anything – to perceive – to learn – to change – to heal. Mindfulness is the awareness that emerges through paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgementally, to the unfolding of experience, moment by moment.” – Jon Kabat Zinn, Professor of Medicine Emeritus, University of Massachusetts Medical School and author of ‘Full Catastrophe Living
What is Mindfulness?
Mindfulness teaches you to pay attention to the present moment through simple breathing and meditation practices.
It can help you manage your thoughts and feelings: through Mindfulness, you practise the ability to accept thoughts and feelings, and to disengage from worry and detrimental negative thinking.
You can practise Mindfulness anywhere – on your own, through group sessions or one-to-one.
The Chaplaincy provides regular sessions on meditation and Mindfulness, which many students find useful in dealing with stress. You can also contact the Chaplains if you like a one-to-one conversation about your experiences of meditation or Mindfulness, or to ask questions.
Led by Hogetsu Baerndal, Chaplain and Mindfulness teacher and Esther Anaya-Boig, Mindfulness Teacher.
