Mindfulness for children

02/07/2020

Mindfulness has been the subject of growing attention and interest in recent years.  Thanks to a rapidly expanding evidence base, data is gather to show how a regular practice of mindfulness can be helpful for many mental and physical health problems, such as stress, anxiety, high blood pressure, IBS, CFS/ME, fibromyalgia and depression, in addition to promoting general physical and emotional well-being (Mindfulness Research, 2011). Researched benefits include:

• a greater capacity for relaxation and calmness
• less worry, anxiety and lower instances of depressive episodes
• enhanced emotional agility, resourcefulness and resilience
• improved self-confidence, engagement and creativity
• better sleep quality clearer thinking and decision making

Here are some comments from corporate mindfulness sessions: - ‘a very useful session helping me find some 'me-time' during a busy day’ and ‘really important practice just to focus on my own well-being without feeling guilty’.
