Mindfulness
Mindfulness-We have a group for people 65 and older that helps you to let go – for a while – of your worries and anxieties, and concerns about past and future. We chat for a few minutes about aspects of mindfulness, and then settle in to experience the feeling of bliss that comes from the extraordinary calm of a guided meditation. We hope you enjoy the serenity so much that you will spend time recreating that state at your leisure in the days between weekly meetings… and find bliss...any time you choose. The experience of a state of deep calm will positively affect your physical and mental health and well-being and is reported to leave you feeling better about pretty much everything. Every Tuesday at 11:00 am for 1 hour. Age Concern Hawke's Bay- Hastings Office at 415 Heretaunga Street East, Hastings (opposite New World). Class is FREE. Numbers limited. Book in by calling 068709060 or email healthpromotion@ageconcernhb.co.nz
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
