Mindfulness Day is the first Sunday in May. Winter follows May in Australia which is the prime time for depression & suicide. Mindfulness is the best hope for the world to overcome mental suffering and is part of all therapies used in treating ‘mental illness’ today. Mindfulness is the energy of being aware and awake to the present moment. It is the continuous practice of touching life deeply in every moment of daily life. To be mindful is to be truly alive and present with those around you and with what you are doing.
I will be hosting a free online mindfulness session the first and last Sunday in May at 9:00am (Australian Eastern Standard Time). The sessions will include a relaxing mindfulness exercise which will clearly demonstrate what mindful awareness actually feels like. This is most often enough to get you started on your own mindful practice. I will also post snippets throughout May from Mindfulness Day 2014 which became my transformational book Mindful Actions.
Please email mindfulmad@gmail.com for a link to the session. Mindfully Yours ♥ John
