FREE ADMISSION
29 Day Mindfulness Challenge
Congrats on making it through the first two weeks of the semester! February is here, and it tends to be a stressful time for students as the work load increases, and the sky stays a bit grey. Stress levels can feel out of control, and our bodies are more prone to illness if our minds and spirits are suffering. This month, I challenge you to dedicate 10 minutes a day to a mindful practice! What is mindfulness, you say? Well, mindfulness is the practice of moment to moment awareness. So, ten minutes of mindfulness practice can look like many things...
- Ten minutes of seated meditation- listen to your thoughts without judgement. Choose a focus point like counting, a light in the body, or the rise and fall of breath.
- Ten minutes of listening to the breath. Put all of your focus into the rise and fall of breath.
- Ten minutes of mindful yoga, running, tai chi, showering... any physical action where you keep your awareness open to every present moment.
- Ten minutes of mantra meditation. Choose a mantra and focus on the message.
- Ten minutes of guided listening meditation. There are many tapes that can guide you through the practice. Jon Kabat Zinn has some excellent recordings!
If you would like to talk about mindful practice in your life, or need help choosing a daily practice, feel free to contact me at meranda.long@arts.cornish.edu or find me in the Student Life Office and we can have a chat.
If you are participating, SHOOT ME AN EMAIL at the above address and we will add you to the chart. Check in with student life once a week to fill up your star chart, and at the end of the challenge, we will celebrate with a MINDFUL CUPCAKE PARTY!
I leave you with this..
May you be peaceful.
May you be happy.
May you know the beauty of your own true nature.
May your heart remain open.
May you love and be loved in return.
May you be healed, and in your healing, may you heal others.
- Ancient Tibetan Blessing

We invite you to join us in exploiting our younger selves for your entertainment!
