Trouble sleeping? Try mindfulness.
Hi Neighbours,
Racing thoughts can be hard to control, cause you to feel overwhelmed, and make it difficult or impossible to sleep. Thoughts that make it so you can't sleep are often caused by stress or anxiety.
Studies show that practicing mindfulness during the day, helps. "The idea is to create a reflex to more easily bring forth a sense of relaxation," says a report by Harvard Medical School. That way, it's easier to evoke the relaxation response at night when you can't sleep. See the second link on Read More for that report
Come and soothe body and mind with a small group for a gentle mindfulness session of ease and peace. Session includes gentle movement and relaxing simple meditation. Meadowbank Community Centre on Tue 3 of October 1 - 2.15pm. Ongoing first Tuesday of the month.
Come and see what it is like! The first session free, then Koha welcome.
