Mindfulness through movement 18th September


Recommended Posts

Join us in Brockwell Pk for mindfulness and movement. By focussing on the rhythm of the step and the breath you will develop an awareness of how to calm your chattering mind. Each week you will develop your practice and you will leave with useful tools to draw on to be calmer and healthier. As we all learn in different ways we help you find the best practice for a present and enriched life. Lead by Mel Sutton, qualified yoga teacher and natural health consultant with over fifteen years experience in health and leadership. Mindfulness helps stress and anxiety and feeling overwhelmed. it sharpens the mind. Even grey matter decline is reversed. Mel also teaches intimate groups of yoga in East Dulwich and Herne Hill. Join for one session as a taster or be bold and book all six.

Hello John, There have been a number of studies into mindfulness and the benefits. I got the increase in grey matter facts from research at Emory University. They found that decline to cognitive abilities typical with ageing was diminished amongst elderly meditators. They used MRI scans that showed the physical thinning of grey matter had been reversed. There was increased blood flow to the insula which increased volume and density in grey matter.

There is lots of ongoing research mainly in America. UCLA have found meditators have stronger connections between different areas in the brain enabling a quicker and more agile brain.

In many ways it makes sense, you need to empty the unwanted before you can fill it up with more desirable thoughts and like any muscle the more you practice emptying and having some control over your thinking the easier it becomes.

Are we going to be seeing you then on the 18th? Mel

    • I do not know how old you are, but if you are clearly an older person ( please forgive if not the case) I think what these kids did is even more despicable. It seems clear this is not just misguided hijinks.
    • Regarding the Ring doorbell have a look at the information on the Information Commissioner's website: https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/home-cctv-systems/ There has also been at least one legal case regarding Ring doorbell and cctv cameras, Fairhurst v Woodard, link to a law firm article on the case: https://www.nelsonslaw.co.uk/ring-data-protection/ Regarding noise and shed issues, can you speak to someone in the Southwark Leaseholders' Team?
    • In answer to your question Pugwash, the variety of foods that they offer both in canned goods and fresh. i personally no longer am a Sainsbury customer after years - feel that the quality of both their fruit, veg and fresh products ie meat, chicken, fish is not of a quality that they use to be. Agree with Sue that Co- Op does not make for a pleasant shopping experience.  On the subject of Waitrose not coming to ED - one can only assume that market research has been done by the company which makes it a non starter which, when you think about it is strange as all the big contenders are here.. Perhaps the powers to be have never heard of ED!! Maybe a Lidl or Aldi will rear their heads but somehow can’t see it as space is way to small. Really is strange that Waitrose is a non arrival - never ceases to amaze me how many eateries are in Lordship Lane alone and the majority all survive.
