What is Mindfulness? Mindfulness is the practice of bringing your awareness and attention to your present moment experience in a non-judgemental way (Kabat-Zinn 2013). When you are mindful, you bring your awareness to what you are experiencing moment to moment via your five senses – physical sensations, sights, sounds, smells and taste – as well as to your thoughts, emotions, urges and behaviours. This inner landscape is ever changing and impermanent. Mindfulness can help you to meet yourself and your experience with kindness and curiosity, lessening resistance, stress and struggle to the difficult and helping to calm your mind, body and emotions (Feldman, Kuyken and Segal 2019). Much of the time people which spend a lot of time in their heads, thinking about both the future and the past and are seldom living with a sense of embodied presence (Williams and Penman 2011, Feldman) . The General Information Hub on the Explore screen of the Oncio app is full of informative and comprehensive articles, including an article on Mindfulness written by Dr Caroline Hoffman. In each article we provide for a specific therapy or approach in integrative oncology, we offer expert input and direct people to appropriate professional organisations.

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗹𝘁 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁? Have you ever noticed how easy it is to get caught up in the rush of daily life? We often push through stress and burnout without taking a moment to breathe and be still. But what if just a few minutes of mindfulness could change everything? During my live session yesterday, we explored how simple relaxation and mindfulness practices can help us regain control and feel more centered, even on our busiest days. Reflect on this: How often do you intentionally make space for relaxation in your daily routine? What would it look like if you made just a little more time for mindfulness? If you haven't started the mindfulness exercise I suggested for this week, it's not too late! You can begin today and notice how small moments of mindfulness can make a big difference. Let me know how it goes!

Mindfulness Practices for Healing Emotional Wounds: Finding Peace Within —— Emotional wounds can feel like an endless storm, replaying past pain and anxiety. Mindfulness offers a powerful way to calm those storms and begin the process of healing from within. When you bring your attention to the present moment, you create space to observe your thoughts and feelings without judgment. ✨Start with simple practices such as mindful breathing. ✨Close your eyes, take deep, slow breaths and focus on the rise and fall of your chest. ✨Each breath is a reminder that you are alive and capable of healing. ✨When painful memories surface, instead of pushing them away, acknowledge them gently and let them pass like clouds in the sky. This will help you to break the cycle of reactivity and build emotional resilience. Incorporate body scans to reconnect with parts of yourself that might feel disconnected or tense. This practice not only grounds you but reminds you that healing is an ongoing journey, one moment at a time. Remember, mindfulness is not about avoiding pain but learning to sit with it in a way that empowers you to move forward. We are in this together, you will heal!✨ PS: What mindfulness practice has helped you on your journey? Share it below to inspire someone else’s path to healing. #Mindfulness #HealingJourney #EmotionalWellness

"While the concept of being present may seem straightforward, training the mind to stay in the present is an ongoing practice. Our minds are naturally inclined to wander. Research suggests that, on average, people's minds wander nearly 47% of the time, often without them even realising it (Killingsworth & Gilbert, 2010). Mindfulness offers tools to bring the wandering mind back to the present, helping us cultivate awareness of the fabulous here and now." Gareth Strangemore-Jones Author of "20 Proven Ways Mindfulness Can Help Reduce and Manage Stress" (Forthcoming article and book to be published by Presenting Mindfulness: Be Here Now)

𝘏𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘥 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦 ‘𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘧𝘶𝘭’ 𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺? Because. Mindfulness isn't really a technique just to calm you in the moment, it is science-backed too! Multiple studies show that it calms down the amygdala (part of your brain that freaks out when you’re stressed), making it less reactive. This means you can still process and remain calm, when the outside isn’t very nice. Mindfulness also strengthens the connection between the amygdala and your prefrontal cortex (the brain’s rational thinking happens here). You get better at handling emotions and responding to challenges So yes, while mindfulness does help you relax and chill, it is also helping you build emotional strength and resilience... in the longer run. (just like exercise helps you in the long run!)
