BetterTogther@7 met online on the 1st October at 7am, with 22 of the MPA community! The practice this time was an eyes open exploration of focussed, and broad gaze, choosing an object that you could keep at the centre of your visual field. My object was a piece of wattle I had found on my morning walk. This open eyes practice is one that you can use as you go about your day to help with both focus, and with the relaxation of focus and capacity to see the bigger picture in any moment. Its also a great practice to take on your walk, if you’re joining The Big Tassie Walk this October, raising money and awareness to support Tasmanian’s Migrant Resource Centre and their participants from the 180 nationalities represented in the Tasmanian community to be welcome, and able to thrive in our communities. If you’d like, you can join MPA as a registered organisation on the Walk, or you can simply post on our Facebook page the things you mindfully notice with your eyes open on your walks. After all, walking is great for your mental health any month of the year! In fact the ‘prescription’ is a daily 20-30 minute walk each day, so that you get a little bit puffy and breathing deeply. Give it a go, Mindfully!
