Join us for our online mindfulness group // Tues 31st March, 7-8pm AEDT // Guest facilitator: Smiling Mind

On March 31st we will be running a one hour online event with a totally different approach 😍 Alongside @Former-Member and @SmilingMind we will be running a live group mindfulness exercise between 7-8pm AEDT.

Mindfulness meditation has been proven to improve our concentration and reduce ruminative thinking that contributes to the high levels of stress. Within our own community and the broader community mindfulness is a valuable tool to employ, we look forward to implementing it together - right here in this thread!

I'm new here - what is the event about?

This online shared event intends to bring together people living with complex mental health issues and their carers in an online setting, ensuring we are collaboratively allowing time for ourselves (and our minds) away from the stressors of our recovery journey. Check back soon for more info on the format!

How do I get involved?

Conscious Mindfulness takes place right here! It's text based, so no software is needed. During the session, to keep up with the latest posts hit the 'refresh' button on your browser for the latest posts (it doesn't automatically update). Keep an eye for page numbers at the top & bottom of the page, and jump to the highest page number for the most recent post.

Throughout the session, the facilitator will put discussion points and questions out for you to consider, usually asking for your own experience on the topic. To contribute to the session, just hit the 'reply' button and share your thoughts. No answers are right or wrong and everyone is welcome to get involved.

So great all @DrZoidberg @Snowie @Windflowers @Shaz51 and our wonderful friend Catherine from @SmilingMind - what a wonderful night, I have learnt a lot. The three step strategy was probably my fave! Thank you all 🙂 I will leave this thread open until tomorrow morning for those who would like to debrief.

See you all next time, or across the forums

Umm, @Former-Member @I'm not sure what ya mean. I'm just gonna tag@Former-Member in for you, to hopefully help you find more information on mindfulness for PTSD. This thread is a Tuesday night info thing I just realised, but a good read. Hope you're ok tonight? Sorry if I confused you, my brain is struggling today :face_with_rolling_eyes:

All good @Former-Member, I didn't understand that it was on this forum site. I will have to have a read. Thank you again for bringing it to my attention.

My brain isn't functioning well today at all either so it's all good. 💖
