'Mindful in May' Charity~Promotion

Post by Wayfarer »

Noticed this story in the Sydney Morning Herald and clicked through to the site.
Mindfulness training and meditation have many benefits, but finding the time to fit them into busy schedules can be hard.
With this in mind, mindfulness meditation teacher Dr Elise Bialylew created a month-long challenge starting on May 1, called Mindful in May.

And all you need is 10 minutes a day.

"Mindfulness meditation has gotten a huge amount of media over recent years. But the challenge still remains: how do we actually bring the practice into our hectic lives in a sustained way? That's why I created Mindful in May," says Bialylew.

"The aim is to support and inspire people to practice for only 10 minutes a day. It's hard to come up with a reason why you can't commit to something when it only takes 10 minutes."

While the Mindful in May challenge is mainly a way of introducing time-poor people to mindfulness practices, it also raises money to provide developing nations access to clean water.
