The Here&Now Project’s very own Rohan Gunatillake has recently been taken up the post of meditation correspondent for Mindapples, the UK-based campaign dedicated to promoting mentally healthy living for everyone.
We all know how to take care of our bodies. Yes, we may get sick, sometimes seriously – but we can eat healthy food, try to keep fit, brush our teeth and worry about our waistlines. Yet when it comes to our minds, we have no idea what to do, so we take terrible care of ourselves and leave it to the experts to fix us if anything goes wrong. But experts can only do so much. So if we can look after our bodies by going for a run, or eating an apple, then what’s the equivalent for our minds?
Rohan will be writing a series of articles for Mindapples – read the first one called A Brief History of Mindfulness
As such I wondered what it might be like to be their meditation correspondent. So I finally wrote a kick-off article for them called A Brief History of Mindfulness.
The feedback has already been really great to I look forward to writing more for them in the future as part of my ongoing exploration of sharing and translation.
