Join us for our online mindfulness group // Tues 28th April, 7-8.30pm AEST // Guest facilitator: One Door

On 28^th April, join us for our second live mindfulness session 😍 The 1.5 hour event kicks off at 7pm AEST and will be hosted by @Former-Member and One Door Mental Health.

Mindfulness practice helps people connect to what is happening in the moment. This reduces stress, making people feel calmer and allowing them to think more clearly🧘. Taking a few minutes out of your day to focus on your thoughts and surroundings can have really positive effects on your mental wellbeing.

If you’ve never tried meditation before, or you’d like to continue practicing, everyone is welcome! 7pm – 8.30pm 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.

We'd encourage you to engage in this event on a desktop computer/laptop, as we need to refresh the browser page quite frequently, sometimes this can be tricky on mobile!

What time does this event start in my timezone?

AEST- 7pm
ACDT- 6:30pm
ACST- 5:30pm
WST- 4pm

I was so much enjoying watching the imagery - ocean, stream, sky, etc.

That it was hard to pay attention to the woman's voice (verbal instructions).

@Adge I was enjoying the imagery too. But I hadn't realised my jaw was clenched!

Hey @Former-Member @Michael-CM @DrZoidberg @Adge How are you all feeling? I have some thoughts and reflections... But first! To kick off the first question

After doing the body scan meditation on page 1 of this discussion...
How did you feel before the meditation, and how do you feel in this moment after doing it?

I guess I had thought I was fairly relaxed before the meditation, but I obviously wasn't... Now feel more relaxed.

I felt exactly the same. It was so peaceful looking at the scenery. I did tune in to the voice when I was told to concentrate on my hands. Due to my anxiety I tend to have my tumb touching my little finger and tapping them together. So I let go and put my hands in my lap. So needed to get intouch with my body.

Before the meditation I felt a bit physically tired from a dance class but I didnt realise I had some tight muscles in my face. Now I feel more relaxed in my body.
