The practices on this page are for clients who have participated in, or are currently enrolled on, a Creative Minds course. Clients have undertaken an assessment to ensure that mindfulness is suitable for them, in addition to receiving teaching and other resources to support their learning journey.
These gentle practices are designed to support self care and resiliency, however if at any time you find a practice is not supporting your needs, please don't continue with it. Either choose an alternative exercise, come back to the practice at a different time, or discuss your needs with your teacher.
The children's exercises can also be done by adults, so the whole family can join in together. At the end of any practice you might like to write in a journal what you noticed. The three Ds can be helpful prompts; what were the delights, the dislikes and the discoveries in your mindfulness practice today?
