12. Mindfulness
Modern living can be noisy, and external noise often causes noise within the mind and spirit. This internal noise (stress, anxiety, fear) can become overwhelming and even cause challenges in our daily lives. Mindfulness is a technique of grounding, relaxation and reflection that can help us turn down the volume or slow down the pace of all the movement within us to try and reconnect with the self. A concept closely derived from but slightly different from meditation, mindfulness is an impactful tool that can be easily incorporated into daily practices. This module will introduce students to the concept and help them understand how to start practising it in their daily lives.
Topics Covered:
-
What is Mindfulness?
