 What's the big deal about mindfulness? You might have wondered. You see it everywhere in the news and media; you've received emails and newsletters about mindfulness events; perhaps you've read an article or book about mindfulness; maybe you've even engaged in a little mindfulness practice yourself. You've noticed that companies, institutions and other organisations are paying increasing attention to this field and beginning to conduct mindfulness workshops and training for their employees and stakeholders. Why the fuss over this seemingly new discipline?
The fact is, mindfulness is getting a lot of attention, and it is not all just media hype. It is being increasingly backed by scientific research spanning the fields of neuroscience, psychological therapy, healthcare, education, and parenting - just to name a few. The proven benefits of practicing mindfulness has, in the recent decades, attracted more and more people to incorporate mindfulness in their daily lives. This free information session, conducted by Erin Lee from Mindful Moments Singapore, will cover the background and develop of mindfulness, applications and research of this field, as well as an introduction to the classic 8-week Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Program, on which many positive research outcomes are based. Participants will also be invited to join in a little experiential mindfulness practice, and have their questions about mindfulness answered. The event offers two sessions: Session A at 2:30 pm, and Session B at 4:00 pm. Participants will only need to register for one of the sessions. If you're bringing family and friends, please register a seat for each attending person.

You may have read or heard (a lot) about mindfulness and how it has been incorporated into many fields and disciplines such as healthcare, psychology, holistic wellness, education, parenting, and even business and leadership, as well as corporate wellness. Over the last three decades, there has been an exponential growth in the number of mindfulness publications, indicating a rising interest in the practice of mindfulness. But this does not mean that mindfulness is a fad; it has developed from a traditional Eastern practice into a well-researched, evidence-based healing approach that is practiced in a secular way and taught through a structured program. The Mindfulness Information Session is organized by Mindful Moments to spread awareness of mindfulness and inspire mindfulness as the way of life. This will be a chance for you toask any questions you may have about mindfulness. The event is free and adults from all walks of life are welcomed to register and sit in. The talk on Saturday 28 May 2016 will be conducted by Erin Lee, founder of Mindful Moments Singapore, Mindfulness Coach, Hypnotherapist and HypnoCoach® at Light On Life Singapore.
