Join us for our online mindfulness group // Tues 26th May, 7-8.30pm AEST // Guest facilitator: SANE Counsellor, Amour_Et_Psyché!

On the 26^th of May, join us for our third live mindfulness session 😍 The 1.5 hour event kicks off at 7pm AEST and will be hosted by @nashy and SANE Counsellor & Forums Moderator, @Former-Member!

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

That is beautiful to hear @Kritika which message in particular resonated with you? It's a bit of relief to acknowledge pain toward others, but then also gently accept it. Thank you so much for sharing

@frog yes definitely, I really enjoyed when he mentioned it's a long process. We don't need all the solutions right now.

@Former-Member I've never done a self-forgiveness meditation before and the repeated phrases made me feel peaceful. I really like the idea of forgiving ourselves and being kind to ourselves.

Hi @Shaz51 ! I agree @frog - self-forgiveness, mindfulness and meditation can be hard work full stop but even more so when you are struggling with complex mental health issues! For this, a big Kudos to all of you participating today and doing the hard-work. With patience, practise and persistence, this kind of work can really transform and improve your quality of life!
