Dear Colleagues, Friends,

 

Do you know what Mindfulness Meditation is?

Mindfulness meditation is a beneficial mental training that harnesses our mind and helps us reduce stress, noxious thoughts and attachment to/rejection of things, people and events.

We all share frantic lives, where stress, pain and frustration often hold centre stage. We have all gone through that sense of walking round in a fog and feeling lost in our life. Sometimes we do react, but we often use ineffective coping strategies, which may include binge eating/drinking, extreme physical training, or other compulsive activities.

Any way out? Yes: Mindfulness Meditation.

Mindfulness Meditation is "awareness that arises through paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, non-judgementally" (Jon Kabat-Zinn, the "father" of Mindfulness Meditation).

Scientific evidence keeps on proving the power and effectiveness of this practice, which reduces anxiety, improves self-awareness, increases concentration, reduces memory loss and builds empathy and loving kindness (especially towards ourselves).

 

If you know it and you would like to start practicing. Or if you don't know it, and you would like to get a sense of it, I'm pleased to invite you to join in the following initiative.

 

Every Tuesday at 12:30, starting on 7 MAY, I will guide a Mindfulness Meditation session in presence, in the Meditation Room - 1st floor - at Galileo Guest House (GGH).*

 

Meetings will include a short lecture/discussion about selected topics (one new topic every week). Then 30' meditation will follow, and eventually we will enjoy sharing our experience with other participants.

 

Should you wish more information, please drop me an email (cserra@twas.org) and I'll be glad to call you back.

 

Or, join us on Tuesday 7 May, Meditation Room GGH at 12:30 for the first meeting. Wear comfortable clothes and a pair of soft socks.

 

Join us and experience a new way of coping with life!

 

Cristina
