From the Counselling Service – Mindfulness meditation
Suitable for beginners. Mindfulness-based practice helps us to see more clearly the patterns of our mind; and to learn how to recognise when our brain is agitated or mood is beginning to go down. It helps break the link between an overly busy brain, negative mood and the negative thinking that might normally have escalated into feeling worse. 5pm.
