Introduction to Mindfulness
Exercise 1 – Grounding Exercise with Sensory Awareness
Duration: 8 mins
This exercise provides helpful strategies to better manage our stressful feelings. During this exercise we use our 5 senses to return to the present moment, reconnect our mind and body and be fully aware of our environment.
Exercise 2 – Mindful Breathing
Duration: 7-9 mins
The breath has a significant role in connecting the body and mind. When we are aware of our breath we also become aware of how we feel in our body. Mindfulness breathing helps you to recognise and nurture healthy thoughts and clear your mind out of unhelpful ones.
Exercise 3 – Body Scan
Duration: 10-12 mins
This exercise is designed to help you develop a greater awareness of your body sensations, decrease aches and pains, reduce stress and improve your overall wellbeing.
Exercise 4 – Leaves on a Stream
Duration: 8-10 mins
This exercise is called Leaves on a Stream. It is a Mindfulness activity which helps us to become aware of our thoughts, our relationship with them and learn new ways of responding to them.
Exercise 5 – Practicing Loving Kindness and Self-Compassion
Duration: 12-15
Loving Kindness is a mindfulness practice which actively encourages sending love, compassion and kind wishes to oneself, loved ones, family, friends, and difficult people in our lives and to the universe.
Exercise 6 – Sitting with Difficult Emotions
Duration: 12-17 mins
Emotions are a very important and essential part of our lives. When we experience painful emotions, we often react to them in unhelpful ways which make them worse. Mindfulness practices provide us with the opportunity to heal, to turn difficult emotions into a learning experience and a source of power and strength.
