Performing Arts and Mindfulness News
'Our approach to mindfulness teaches students to pay attention to what’s happening both around and within themselves, and to notice thoughts, feelings, and sensations as they arise. We teach students how not be judgemental of the thoughts and feelings that they experience, but to be aware of what’s going on and how this makes them feeling.'
Dear St Anthony’s Community,
I wanted to share with you all some good news. Each week I will be
posting a mindfulness and meditation session for the week. The
sessions will be made up of the wonderful ABC Mindfulness Tool Kit
videos and a mindfulness meditation led by me for you to enjoy either
individually or as a family. I will post on a Monday (or Tuesday if it’s a
public holiday) on Dojo.
You can watch the video each day as part of your daily mindfulness or
just check in a couple of times a week.
We will explore different themes around mindfulness and raising our
awareness of ourselves and our feelings and reactions to the events
around us.
I hope you have had lots of opportunities to spend time together playing
a game, going for walks, reading a book together, cooking or even
keeping a diary of this historic time!
If you are keen to pursue more mindfulness in your family, Smiling Mind
have a special program - “Thrive Inside” is a special initiative to help
you stay calm and healthy in the physical constraints of your home,
while remaining calm and healthy inside your mind during the Covid –
19 pandemic. It’s a great program and it’s free and easy to download
on your phone or device.
