Why mindfulness?

Eve from Eve Rudkin Mindfulness

Hi Neighbours, people coming to my sessions are interested in mindfulness for all sorts of reasons. Maybe wanting a pragmatic way of learning to calm down and not be so reactive at home or at work. They might be bothered by anxious thoughts which they know are not rational, and have heard that mindfulness can help.
Maybe a particular physical challenge that they are grappling with – an illness or pain or sleep problems or want to reduce their blood pressure. Or just simply want to get to know themselves a bit more, and have heard that mindfulness can offer a useful map for this exploration.

If you are wanting to just have a taste of mindfulness to see if it can help, come and try some initial training and see if it makes sense to you.

I run a friendly little group. I teach gentle movement suitable for any body, & peaceful stillness.
The first session is free then it is by donation.
29 Saint Johns Road,
Meadowbank Community Centre Monday 21 July, 1.30 - 2.45pm
Ongoing 3rd Monday of the month.

Feel free to contact me: Eve Rudkin, registered teacher of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction. 021 255 1485

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
