Hi ! I am Peter and I live in South Wales near Cardiff. I am in my 60s, male and diabetic. I am also a passionate convert to the power of Mindfulness as a way to keep my mental and physical health as good as it possibly can be. When I began this route I was surprised at the extent to which the resources I searched for were not always appropriate for me. I found lots of videos with guided meditations, but with a female voice that would be at home in a soft porn video or a fancy Spa. I saw suggestions like "...take a daily run along the beach in the warm morning sunshine". (In Wales ??) Mindful tasks like studying a butterfly wing. (In a town house ??) ... I could go on. I felt totally excluded.

 

Over time I have sought out resources and ideas that suit someone with my profile. I am sure there are lots of others who are not 20 something year old women who are used to spas and having much more flexibility in their use of time that I ever have had.

​

I have written this Blog because I want to make it easier for the non typical person wanting to get into Mindfulness. I will be trying to build up a set of ideas and resources that can be used by people with  a desire to get started but can't  spend hours watching butterfly wings or waiting for chocolate to melt on their tongue. If you have come across any resources that would be of interest to people like me then do contact me and let me know what works for you.
