Mauri aroha - Māori Mindfulness
From Joni's research, the key features of Mindfulness from a Mātauranga Māori perspective are;
-
Whakapapa - genealogy and the connection between all things is at the heart.
-
An intrinsic connection to land and water
-
Spirituality interwoven through all practices.
-
Te reo Māori as the basis.
We are passionate about developing bilingual resources to support people in their holistic wellbeing. Following are some of the resources that we have contributed to in the Māori mindfulness space.
We are currently developing a Spotify account, working on podcasts and other resources. You can also read my blog for my PhD journey here.
There is a collection of free mindfulness resources generously created and available on Pause Breathe Smile in te reo Māori and in English too and can be found here at the Pause Breathe Smile website.
