Basic meditation, mindful awareness and breath practice
In this session we will explore what mindfulness and meditation are and how it is linked to daily life challenges. The foundations of how meditation contributes to our overall health and wellness will be explored. Breathing meditation will be introduced and participants will be guided through a breath practice. There will be time to ask questions and learn more about the experience through sharing and dialogue.

Christine is the Department Head for Child, Youth and Family Studies at UFV and has been using different forms of mindfulness and meditation in a career that spans over 4 decades as a psychiatric nurse, child and youth care counsellor, child life specialist and now as an associate professor teaching stress reduction to university students. Meditation offers a way to navigate the experience of stress, anxiety, pain and difficult moments in life. Building a practice of mindful meditation can help us be more resilient and find a greater sense of contentment in our lives, no matter how challenging it may seem. If you are interested in learning more about meditation, this series will offer the basics to explore a practice that can contribute to your overall health and wellbeing.
