The speaker at the SI Glasgow City club on Wednesday 20th September was Eleanor Gibson, who shared some of her journey towards mindfulness, having published her book entitled ‘Mindfulness The Journey, Not The Destination’ a year ago. As well as some of her personal story, her book contains some of her beautiful poetry which gives an insight into her feelings at particular times in her life – happy, sad, traumatic, and positive events, and she shared some of these in her talk. In Eleanor’s book there are 50 mindfulness exercises which any reader can follow and try for themselves, and before her talk Eleanor led the members of SI Glasgow City in one of those soothing exercises, which the ladies enjoyed immensely.
