The Humanist Society (Singapore) had the privilege of collaborating with Brahm Centre to host a mindfulness workshop led by Ms. Ya Wen. Mindfulness is more than just a practice— it is a way of living that allows us to cultivate awareness, presence, and emotional resilience in our daily lives. In a fast-paced world filled with distractions, mindfulness helps us reconnect with ourselves, offering clarity and balance in the midst of life’s demands.
One of our participants, Peter Huber, shared his experience:
“I attended the mindfulness presentation today and it was amazing. It was very practical, with exercises on how to feel your body and stay in the present moment. I guess I will integrate that head and shoulder stretching exercise into my daily life—it has already helped me lessen some neck pain. Another exercise focused on tuning into different body parts, something I learned 30 years ago in Germany as ‘Autogenes Training.’ It helped me become a less nervous person. We also explored the interaction between feelings and the body. Everything was very practical and enjoyable.”
Workshops like these remind us of the importance of self-care and mindfulness in our daily routines. Whether it’s a simple stretch, a moment of stillness, or recognizing how our emotions influence our physical well-being, these small but meaningful practices can make a significant difference in how we navigate life.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to Ms. Ya Wen and Brahm Centre for this insightful session. Brahm Centre is a registered charity dedicated to promoting mental well-being through mindfulness-based programs, health talks, and wellness courses. They offer a range of evidence-based programs, including stress reduction, resilience-building, and mindfulness training for individuals from all walks of life. We look forward to bringing more enriching experiences to our community.
