Sit Saturday Sunrise meditations start
A series of regular Sit Saturday Sunrise meditations started last Saturday at Ocean Beach Surf Life Saving Club.
The month of meditation for Mental Health Awareness Month will culminate in The BIG Sit at the surf club on October 29.
The meditations are open to anyone, will start at 6:30am each Saturday and aim to improve mental fitness.
Between these meditations, people are encouraged to meditate for 10 to 20 minutes daily until The Big Sit on Saturday 29 October.
Member for Gosford Ms Liesl Tesch said: "Taking time out of our busy lives is crucial for our health and wellbeing.
"Often, we find our day is taken up with getting through our to do list and focussing on the needs of others, and we don't leave time to nurture ourselves.
"I understand the demands and pressure of a busy lifestyle.
"I've found that by doing a daily meditation practice, even if it is for 10 minutes, I feel more energised and my mind is more focussed for the day ahead.
"I encourage everyone of all ages to take time out for themselves this October.
"I look forward to seeing our community get together and raise awareness for mental health," she said.
