Enjoy a walk through nature from the comfort of home, taking in thoughts of fresh air, leafy surroundings and beautiful peaceful spaces.
It’s important to take time with our thoughts and give ourselves permission to daydream. Relax and reflect through daydreaming, at any time of day, from your comfortable place.
Developing mindfulness using our breath (or our hands) as our focus of attention. This simple (though not so easy!) discipline brings us back to the present moment.
The Body Scan meditation is a foundational practice of Mindfulness, training our capacity to pay attention, and to become aware of what is happening in our minds. We do this by slowly focusing on different areas of the body and allowing body sensations to be felt and experienced as they are, bringing an attitude of kindness to the experience.
There's a lot of information out there, so to make life simple we've compiled a list of organistions that might be able to help. Please remember that our Access team are here to help direct you to services here at the hospice and in our community too. Find out more below.
