Friday 2nd February 2018, Time 11:20-11:50am

Slides of the talk: “Starting Where You Are – integrating mindfulness into your life”

Finding time to regularly practice mindfulness can seem an impossible hurdle. This session explores how to seamlessly integrate mindfulness into your daily routines even when life is very busy.

 

Saturday 3rd February 2018, Time 14:00-14:30pm

This talk is now available for free from the Mindful Living Show organisers.  Scroll down the page to ‘Navigating the Science and the Hype’.

 

Slides of the talk: “Mindfulness – Navigating the Science and the Hype“

The growing evidence base for mindfulness includes clinical research and brain science. While this evidence base has been used to support the increasing use of mindfulness in ever wider clinical, educational and corporate contexts, there is growing concern that the enthusiasm for mindfulness is ahead of science. Tim will explore the current state of mindfulness science: its strengths and its weaknesses.

 

 

 

Using Objects as Anchors in Mindfulness Practice Information

There is a 35 minute video that outlines using different objects here. There is a pdf for download here.

 

 

We have a schedule of demonstrations we are holding at the stand – see below. We will also be posting any linked materials to the demos.

While these demos are aimed to be fun as suits the Show, many of the same practices used in these demos offer very safe and accessible ways to cultivate aspects of mindfulness awareness. This can be especially important when teaching mindfulness in the context of trauma where someone may have distressing associations with the breath or body and they may experience re-traumatisation with the breath and body focused mindfulness practices used in many mindfulness programmes. In addition, the very passivity of many mindfulness practices, with the associated reduction in sensory inputs, can result in amplification of the intensity of unwanted internal experiences and/or risk inducing dissociative experiences in people with a tendency to dissociate. These issues will be explored in the forthcoming free day symposium in June 2018: Trauma Sensitive Mindfulness and Compassion at the University of Salford.

Linked to some of these demos, we will be offering Objects as Anchors Sets for sale – a great way to try out different ways of using objects in mindfulness practice without having to buy packs of each type of object. See below for more information on using the objects in these packs.
