Why mindfulness? Try it Monday 21 Oct, 1.30
Hi Neighbours, people coming to my sessions are interested in mindfulness for all sorts of reasons. Maybe wanting a pragmatic way of learning to calm down and not be so reactive at home or at work. They might be tormented by anxious thoughts which they know are not rational, and have heard that mindfulness can help.
Maybe a particular physical challenge that they are grappling with – an illness or pain or sleep problems or want to reduce their blood pressure. Or just simply want to get to know themselves a bit more, and have heard that mindfulness can offer a useful map for this exploration.
If you are wanting to just have a taste of mindfulness to see if it can help, come and try some initial training and see if it makes sense to you.
I run a friendly little group. I teach gentle movement suitable for any body, & peaceful stillness.
The first session is free then it is by donation.

Harbour Bridge lane closure - protests
The Treaty Principles Bill was introduced to parliament last week and could have ramifications on the partnership between the Crown and Māori.
Hīkoi mō te Tiriti (March for the Treaty of Waitangi) set off from Cape Rēinga on Monday morning and is expected to reach Wellington next Tuesday. It has now passed through Kaitaia, Kawakawa, Whangārei, Dargaville and is passing through Auckland on Wednesday.
What you need to know today:
- The hīkoi is due to cross the Auckland Harbour Bridge about 9.30am on Wednesday. Two northbound lanes will be closed at some point before the crossing, and remain closed during it.
- NZTA shared at 8:50am Wednesday:
'Curran St northbound on-ramp will be closed shortly, with two northbound lanes on the Harbour Bridge expected to close from approx 9.30am this morning. Allow extra time for likely delays through this area.'
- The hīkoi is expected to go across the Harbour Bridge, in a controlled fashion before marching through parts of the CBD towards Okahu Bay.
- Auckland commuters should expect traffic disruption in vicinity of both sides of the Harbour Bridge.
Stuff reporter Steve Kilgallon was at Stafford Park on the north side of the Harbour Bridge at 8.30am Wednesday and shared:
"I just walked through Stafford Park, where there’s about 400-500 people quietly assembled and more arriving; and about 20 police standing over near the motorway off ramp. Lot of Tino Rangatira flags in evidence, local streets very busy with parked cars."
Police have shared that they will respond accordingly to any issues that may arise along the route.
