Mindfulness

​

Mindfulness

Mindfulness is huge right now!  You might have read about it in the news and wondered what it's all about.  You might have had a formal practice for years.  You might have never heard of it.  You might have been practicing it for years without realising.  Either way, Office Om encourages you to include mindfulness in every day life  as research shows that such practice this can have many positive benefits.

What is it?

Mindfulness is all about bringing your attention to the present moment.  That's it.  Sounds simple?

Okay, so let's give it a go

Here's a mindfulness exercise you can try right now.....just sit in a comfortable position, feel your body being fully supported. If you're happy to do so, let your eyes rest shut and bring your attention to your breath, notice, without judging, how it is feeling today inside your body today, notice the sensation of the in-breath and the out-breath, if you notice your mind wandering, just noticing that and bringing your focus back to your breath, spend as long as you want here, watching the breath, then bring your focus back to your body and then back to the room, before gently opening your eyes.

How was it for you?

People have different experiences of this. Whether it felt easy, hard, lovely or uncomfortable, just notice how it felt today.  If you didn't like it, maybe try it again on a different day or find someone to talk to about it.  There are different ways to practice mindfulness and this is just an example.  

I like it!  I want more

Mindfulness is included within all Office Om sessions.  If you like it, you may wish to develop a practice on your own, perhaps with a mindfulness teacher or an app such as Headspace (others exist). Some mindfulness resources are included below.
