An introductory session on Mindfulness Practice was conducted at the Lady Ridgeway Children’s Hospital Borella on 28th April which was attended by a cross-section of hospital staff. The programme comprised of mindful walking and sitting together with selected mindful games and a special session on mindful eating. Children from the preschool of LRH also attended the programme and they were guided by the Sati Pasala Facilitrors.
During the discussion, a senior nursing officer stated that practice of mindfulness can be used as a tool to cope up with the workplace stress as they have to attend a large number of patients every day.
