This event is open to carers residing in or caring for a person in Edinburgh and Midlothian.

When: Thu 17 Jul, 10:30am-12pm

About the event: Join Elspeth, Mindfulness Coach, for a calming and mindful walk to fully absorb your surroundings and help you feel more anchored.

Mindful walking is a form of movement meditation that can be supportive for busy minds.
Often when we walk, we do so to get from A to B and we don’t really pay attention to the journey in between, as we’re caught up in thoughts.

When we walk mindfully, we walk in silence at a slow pace, and with mobile phones off, to fully appreciate our surroundings. We can be more present and grounded through our five senses, and we often we notice things we would never have seen or heard otherwise!

Slowing down your movement can feel strange at first – especially if you’re used to walking at a faster pace – but you may notice that it helps to calm a busy mind.

The walk will take approximately 40-45 minutes, followed by a cup of tea and a chat outdoors (weather dependent!).

Delivered by: Elspeth Lewis, Mindfulness and ACT Coach, Sound Practitioner from https://pausetobe.co.uk/
