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

On 28th 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

@DrZoidberg That's so good to hear! I like the body scans because they are quick and simple. Makes it hard to avoid during a busy week, but really powerful results Do you think you could do these regularly?

@Escaped_Goat Thank you. What a beautiful visual of things opening out around you 🙂 What was the smallness like? Comforting, overwhelming? Etc

@Former-Member
Walking along a beach listening to the waves crashing, smelling fresh air, sand in between the toes is just so calming. I don't have any negative thoughts when I'm on the beach, I'm too busy listening,feeling and smelling my surroundings.

Love that! @Michael-CM Resettling into your home 🙂 It's like creating really gentle boundaries between your downtime/safe space and the chaos of the outside world. Thank you for that

@ThinQ I can almost feel that experience from your discription. My connection to water.is the visual aspect and I often walk to a local river as the moving water calms me

Okay wonderful people @Michael-CM @Escaped_Goat @DrZoidberg @ThinQ @Former-Member @Cecilia @Adge and others here tonight... Moving on to the biggest challenge of all, the busyness of our minds



How often do you feel your mind was wondering back and forth with life stressors during the meditation?

@Escaped_Goat I found the strange feeling settle over time. I felt more connected to what my body is trying to tell me as I explored more excercise

Not too much thinking about life stressors at all...the imagery was my focus, it was beautiful.
