Awesome moon a good reminder to savour the good things!

Eve from Eve Rudkin Mindfulness

Hi Neighbours - Wow did you see the moon last night – I stood outside and watched it come up and life was good. It pushed away all the thoughts of washing and dishes to be done!! I remembered neuroscientist Rick Hansen’s advice to really savour any pleasant experience. He says the brain is like Velcro for negative experiences, but Teflon for positive ones – we remember negative things more easily than positive things.
He suggests that we ‘tilt towards the good’ in order to level the playing field. He says if we spend time savouring and enjoying a good experience, more neurons fire and thus wire together, actually changing our brains for the better. So to balance out the challenging times, see if you can "Take in the good" to even things out.

Mindfulness practice helps build up this way of being. Come and soothe body and mind with a small group for a gentle mindfulness session of ease and peace next week. Session includes gentle movement and relaxing simple meditation.

The next one is on Tue 5th of September 1 - 2.15pm. Come and see what it is like! Contact me - the first session free, then Koha welcome. Ongoing first Tuesday of the month.
