Meeting Notes October 4

Mindfulness session# 3

This week we looked more closely at some exercises which will asssist in understanding mindfulness. The exercises focussed on routine activities, but with a focus on the breathing. there was a range of exercises that were offered, and the group was encouraged to explore ones that they felt could be useful.

Discussion also ensued about mindfulness of the self, and whether being mindful of ourselves can benefit others as the Buddhas' story shows.

There was discussion on the tangible and intangible aspects of mindfulness in looking after oneself.

A hand out given for reflection during the week which containes a quote from Socrates: "An unexamined life is not worth living" which will form part of the discussion as we wrap up our reflection on Mindfulness on Saturday 11th October.

I look forward to the pleasure of your company!!
