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

    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
