@philipwhale we met on a whale watching boat in Provincetown a few years ago! I was doing a project about candles at Wellcome. I'm now running a Jarman-inspired garden project at Sutton Hse in Hackney. wd love to invite u to give a talk! I'm on [email protected] Daniel

@TSOTFringe @edfringe @wellcometrust and mindfulness can help switch them off, by taking our attention away from throughts and finding a natural pace that the body needs /2x

[Daniel Baker @danbakerstudio]

@TSOTFringe @edfringe @wellcometrust yes, it's like the body/mind is like a house and we switch on all the lights and appliances inside through stress and excitement /1

[Daniel Baker @danbakerstudio]

@Goldele @TSOTFringe that's great, thanks! I'd be really interested in how you get on practicing at the Fringe if you're there this year

[Daniel Baker @danbakerstudio]

@TSOTFringe @edfringe @wellcometrust interesting! i was talking at #mindfuledfringe about mindfulness for gently switching off the lights we turn on inside our minds all day!

[Daniel Baker @danbakerstudio]

@TSOTFringe you're welcome! really looking forward to it #MindfulEdFringe

[Daniel Baker @danbakerstudio]

@TSOTFringe the trick is to remember! it can take just 3 minutes to switch from sympathetic into parasympathetic nervous system #MindfulEdFringe /3x

[Daniel Baker @danbakerstudio]

@TSOTFringe lots of opps to practice mindful breathing or eating; waiting for a bus, waiting for a show to start, a cup of tea #MindfulEdFringe /3

[Daniel Baker @danbakerstudio]

@TSOTFringe i'll also use mindful walking. it works really well for me. walking mindfully in an unfamiliar city can be wonderful #MindfulEdFringe /2

[Daniel Baker @danbakerstudio]

@TSOTFringe i'll do my best to fit in a twenty or thirty minute meditation each day, and will meditate on the train going up! #MindfulEdFringe /1

[Daniel Baker @danbakerstudio]

@TSOTFringe here they are if anyone has missed them so far: https://t.co/KCRGVshyO2 #MindfulEdFringe /5x

[Daniel Baker @danbakerstudio]

@TSOTFringe i haven't been to the fringe before, shamefully, and i am excited, there is so much going on it's mindblowing! #MindfulEdFringe

[Daniel Baker @danbakerstudio]

@TSOTFringe that's why guided meditations and group classes can be really helpful, to help us to return to the present and let go #MindfulEdFringe /4x

[Daniel Baker @danbakerstudio]

@TSOTFringe but i have found, the best way to approach the practice is to do it, and try to let go of expectations #MindfulEdFringe /3

[Daniel Baker @danbakerstudio]

@TSOTFringe and mindfulness can be very powerful for stress and anxiety and all kind of other issues and difficulties, #MindfulEdFringe /2

[Daniel Baker @danbakerstudio]

@TSOTFringe that's a very good question, and a common one. often people come to Mindfulness because they want to 'fix' something #MindfulEdFringe /1

[Daniel Baker @danbakerstudio]

@TSOTFringe teaching mindfulness is best when it's interactive, so do let us know how you get on! #MindfulEdFringe /4x

[Daniel Baker @danbakerstudio]

@TSOTFringe i'm really curious about how people engage with the films, particularly if they've never tried mindfulness before #MindfulEdFringe /3

[Daniel Baker @danbakerstudio]

@TSOTFringe so it is an experiment to see how the techniques translate on camera and through the internet #MindfulEdFringe /2
