Healthy Minds Webcast Series // Everyday Mindfulness // Thurs. 22 Sep, 7pm AEST

As part of the Healthy Minds Webcast Series, our fifth sessions is on Thursday 22 September from 7pm.

We've all heard of the term 'mindfulness', but it isn't a simple skills for everyone. So how can we make this technique a simple tool we use everyday?

For this session we will be joined by Jordan Whitehead, who is the founder of Mindfulgym (now Mindfulwaves) and is a Registered Psychologist. Jordan has worked primarily in the fields of assessment and treatment of addiction, mental health and suicide. She has studied Mindfulness in Melbourne, Australia and in India.

This interactive webcast will introduce you to simple mindfulness activities you can take with you and continue to use long after the session.

That's nice, we miss so many small things in life when we are on autopilot - like froth shaped milk!

@MindfulWaves

Notice any differences in your mind/body/feelings/emotions with this mindfulness practise I'm all ears!

I had pins and needles in my foot because I was sitting crossed legged, and as the meditation continued, it just disappeared. The baby in my belly also quite enjoyed it and was moving around, as I felt very grounded and still. I feel quite relaxed.

yes Shaz51 we often undervalue small things in life and minfulness can help give us a reality check and allow us to see what we take for granted
