Our weekly Tuesday Mindfulness Meditation runs from 13:10–13:50. Please arrive a little early to find a space and settle in before the meditation begins. Students and staff from Imperial, RCA, and RCM are welcome to join for free. Simply drop in – there’s no need to book in advance.
Mindfulness can help you stay calm, focused, and better manage the pressures of life. Everyone can benefit from Mindfulness, but you might find it especially helpful 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 helps you manage your thoughts and emotions by developing the ability to notice them with acceptance and to step back from worry and negative thinking.
You can practise Mindfulness anywhere — on your own, in a group session, or one-to-one.
The Chaplaincy provides regular sessions on meditation and Mindfulness, which many students find helpful in managing stress. You can also contact the Chaplains if you’d like a one-to-one conversation about your meditation or Mindfulness practice, or if you have any questions.
Led by Hogetsu Baerndal, Chaplain and Mindfulness Teacher.
Sessions are held both in-person and online via Zoom.
