Mindfulness Meditation

Wellbeing Rooms, 1.63, First Floor, Large Group Room, Simon Building
Mindfulness-based practice helps us to see more clearly the patterns of our mind; and to learn how to recognise when our brain is agitated or mood is beginning to go down. It helps break the link between an overly busy brain ,negative mood and the negative thinking that might normally have escalated into feeling worse. We can develop the capacity to mindfully disengage from distressing mood, and negative thoughts: we can learn to stay in touch with the present moment, without having to ruminate about the past, or worry about the future.
