Mindful Meditation
Mindfulness meditation is a mental training practice that teaches you to slow down racing thoughts, let go of negativity, and calm both your mind and body. It combines meditation with the practice of mindfulness which can be defined as a mental state that involves being fully focused on breathing to “anchor” the mind so you can acknowledge and accept your thoughts, feelings, and sensations without judgment or decision, and then delete them by refocusing on your anchor.
Maple Grove United Church is offering 3 times/week classes in mindfulness meditation free of charge. Please contact Arnaud Painvin MD FRCSC via the site oakvillezenmeditation.com.
