Éowyn will define mindfulness practice and benefits along with a brief review of traditional anchors: breath, sound, mantra, body scan, loving kindness and visualization. She will touch on extended mindfulness applications: mindful eating, walking, simply noticing, and movement as well as a core element of mindfulness, beginner’s mind which creates openness and curiosity.
