We are grateful that we could have a mindfulness workshop with elderly from Mrs Mann Tai Po Rhenish Neighbourhood Elderly Centre, bringing them greater peace mentally and physically.
Carers are often under tremendous both mental and physical pressure, especially for elderly carers. They may need to accept the fact that their body functioning is diminishing or worry that their spouse will pass away one day, which makes them feel overwhelmed.
In the beginning of the workshops, many of the participants said that it was difficult to control their wandering mind. Yet, under the instructions of the tutor, they could gradually experience the natural environment with their senses and notice their breathing. They started calming their mind, feeling relaxed and meditating and increasing their positivity to deal with pressure they may face in the future.
