Healthy Minds Webcast Series // Everyday Mindfulness // Thurs. 22 Sep, 7pm AEST

Image # 12 - Healthy Minds Webcast - Everyday mindfulness cover image 1200x628.png

As part of the Healthy Minds Webcast Series, our fifth sessions is on Thursday 22 September from 7pm.

We've all heard of the term 'mindfulness', but it isn't a simple skills for everyone. So how can we make this technique a simple tool we use everyday?

For this session we will be joined by Jordan Whitehead, who is the founder of Mindfulgym (now Mindfulwaves) and is a Registered Psychologist. Jordan has worked primarily in the fields of assessment and treatment of addiction, mental health and suicide. She has studied Mindfulness in Melbourne, Australia and in India.

 

This interactive webcast will introduce you to simple mindfulness activities you can take with you and continue to use long after the session.

Thanks for registering your interest in our mindfulness webcast tonight. We’ve got a wonderful, interactive night in store, that I’m sure will stimulate plenty of interesting discussion! 

If you haven’t already checked it out in the lead up to tonight, I’d encourage everyone to have a look at the video that we posted above – it contains an introduction to what mindfulness is and how we can begin to bring it into our daily life.

Our host for the night is Jordan Whitehead – Jordan is a registered psychologist and an avid mindfulness practitioner and teacher.

Welcome Jordan and thanks so much for sharing your time and energy with us tonight! Perhaps you could start us off by telling us a little bit about yourself and your journey with mindfulness?

It's this an audio webinar or just text? I'm not sure where to go

Hi @Belleboo,

Good question! Tonight is just a text based session, like our usual Topic Tuesdays!

Thanks Supernova and hello to everyone! I'm seriously excited about tonight. I'm a registered Psycholgist and I teach mindfulness. I love mindfulness as it is very practical in nature and I guess that is why my career left counselling to focus on teaching mindfulness. I have always loved yoga and meditation and wanted to find an evidence based way to incorporate it into my psychological practise. I came across mindfulness training in my final year as a psychology student, completed a yoga teacher training and I was hooked.

Hi @Shaz51,

Great to have you with us tonight!

Re: Healthy Minds Webcast Series // Everyday Mindfulness // Thurs. 22 Sep, 7pm AEST

Thanks for that clarification (about it being text based)! I was wondering if I needed to go somewhere, it's the first time I've joined a webcast with Sane and I'm quite excited. Mindfulness is such a simple yet profoundly effective tool for me.

Re: Healthy Minds Webcast Series // Everyday Mindfulness // Thurs. 22 Sep, 7pm AEST

Hi @supernova@MindfulWaves and all,

i have a question. What is the difference between distracting and mindfulness and how do you chose between them when things are tough?

Re: Healthy Minds Webcast Series // Everyday Mindfulness // Thurs. 22 Sep, 7pm AEST

Hi Misch,

You are right, mindfulness is simple in concept however ever expanding in practical nature! 

For all of you who haven't listened to the mindfulness presentation which was uploaded a few days ago it will give you a good idea about mindfulness, so have a listen now before I guide you through a few practises!
