In the Sunday Show on Sunday 22nd March, Chris will be interviewing Shireen Jilla, a trained Mindfulness Practitioner on 'The many benefits of Mindfulness’.
For Buddhists mindfulness has been an important concept for over 2000 years. The term “Mindfulness” is a translation of a Pali word 'sati', which is a core step in Buddhism. It is the first of the 'Seven Factors of Enlightenment', and Buddhists use Mindfulness to develop self-knowledge and wisdom, in order to eventually achieve enlightenment, or freedom from suffering.
But, mindfulness has real benefits for you, right now. Did you know that just 1 hour of mindfulness can reduce your stress hormone cortisol by 20 percent? Other research shows it can lower blood pressure, reduce depression better than conventional treatments, and is useful during pregnancy or for soldiers with PTSD. This isn't just another alternative therapy with no research behind it - Mindfulness is a powerful health-promoting technique.
Shireen will explain the skills of mindfulness and how to apply them; she is even planning a short 'Mindfulness' session for you. Not least, mindfulness has serious benefits for people with cancer.
