Loving Kindness Practice is a way to cultivate kindness for oneself and others. It involves silently sending wishes for goodwill, kindness, and warmth towards self and others. Some people incorporate this practice with their prayer time.
1:00PM: Body Scan Practice for Awareness & Relaxation w. Sebrina Doyle Fosco, certified facilitator for Cultivating Awareness and Resilience in Education (30 min., In-person event) -- 312 BBH Bldg.
We spend most of the time in our heads thinking, planning, remembering, and so on. This practice is a simple but powerful way of getting out of your head and bringing our attention into the body instead. It comes with an invitation to become aware of the emotions and physical sensations that show up in the body especially when we are stressed, and to work with them in a way that promotes wellbeing. No previous experience necessary, no yoga pants required .
