ABOUT MINDPANDA:

How It all Started?

April 2017

As a young Scottish family practicing mindfulness and meditation, we found it difficult to cultivate mindful living throughout our busy day.

We put our heads together to come up with something physical that we could take with us to work, or school that would remind us to stay present and grateful for what we had.

In March 2017, our youngest came up with the great idea for our Mindfulness Stress balls!

These worked so well that we were asked by some of our local schools and friends who loved the idea if we could make more for them.

So we decided we would let everyone in on our little reminders.

And we wont stop there...

Whats Next?

As simple as mindfulness is. It’s not the easiest habit incorporate into our daily lives.
If you have ever tried meditating it can be ironically irritating to begin with. “Am i doing this right? I cant stop thinking 🤯. Has that only been 2 minutes 😵” .

We have all been there and it can be frustrating…..try then teaching your young ones. “Oh my days 😨”

This led us to creating our “30 Days of Mindfulness” pack which will be available in July 2019. This pack was designed to walk people through a whole month of different mindfulness exercises. journaling, gratitude exercises and meditation.

From here we will be launching more packs for all age ranges, Mindful journals and more fun toys and games for the whole family.

Stay in the loop with launch dates, discount codes and be in with the chance to become one of our product testers.

Our Mission:

The mindfulness community has grown rapidly over the past 5 years. There are now hundreds of people and apps out there spreading these amazing techniques and we love it!

The more people there are spreading the love the more people will learn the amazing benefits of being still and listening to whats going on inside.

Our goal is to create easier and more effective ways of learning mindfulness.

Mindfulness is about appreciation for the present moment. And as much as we all love our little magic devices we carry around with us each day, they are the biggest culprit for taking us out of the moment.

We found it to be counter productive to take that 10 minute guided meditation on our mobiles, only to close the app and be distracted with 101 notifications and flashy social media icons.

Thats why our Mindpanda Mission is to give our customers a more mindful experience when practicing mindfulness.

That is why will continue to provide our customers with more tools and courses to help you learn and improve your own mindfulness practice away from all distractions.

Calm Minds achieve great things.

Did you know that mindfulness can help you to live a healthier, happier and more focused lifestyle.

Mindfulness, What Is It?

Mindfulness, the practice of staying aware and in sync with yourself and your surroundings is often characterized by sitting in total silence with legs crossed, eyes shut and palms facing upwards. Would seem like something only monks would appreciate. But mindfulness is a practice that all of us could use, especially in our stressful, fast-paced, 9-to-5 city lifes.

Science actually suggests that the benefits of mindfulness-based meditation can be phenomenal. Here are ten amazing benefits of mindfulness backed by science you should know about.

1. Mindfulness eases aches and pains

If you struggle with back, neck or other body aches and pains, part of that pain may be in your head. That’s according to a 2011 study published in the April issue of the Journal of Neuroscience. The study found that just 80 minutes of mindful meditation could cut pain perception nearly in half.

This study corroborates with another study conducted at the University of Montreal that studied 13 Zen meditators. All of whom had at least 1,000 hours of practice, compared with a group of non-meditators to see whether regular meditation practice would affect perception of pain.

The results were overwhelming—the Zen meditators had a higher pain threshold than the non-meditators.

2. Enhances our sex life

How, you ask? By helping bring our thoughts back into the present moment. Research published in 2011 in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine that mindfulness meditation training – where a person learns how to bring thoughts into the present moment – can enhance a woman’s sexual experience (and by extension some men’s sexual experience).

Apparently, self-judgemental chatter often fills a woman’s mind during sex, preventing her from enjoying the full sexual experience. However, college women who meditated were quicker to become aroused when viewing erotic photos compared with non-meditating women.

3. It makes us smarter and improves decision-making

A 2012 UCLA study published in the journal Frontiers in Human Neuroscience found that long-term meditators have larger amounts of gyrification, or folding of the brain’s cortex than people who don’t meditate. The extra folds may allow the meditators to process information faster than others and avoid ruminating on past events. This can distort our thinking and decision making process.

Practicing as little as one 15-minute focused breathing meditation can get you out of your head, remove the bias from your brain and help you think more clearly.

4. Mindfulness improves moods

In another eye-opening study, a group of U.S marines preparing for deployment spent two hours each week practicing mindfulness meditation training for a period of eight weeks. These marines showed marked improvements in moods and working memory. This allows for short-term retrieval and storage of information, compared to marines who did not meditate.

The researchers observed that practicing mindfulness meditation in highly stressful and emotional situations allowed meditators to stay alert and in the moment without being overly emotional. It gave them a kind of “mental armor.”

5. Increases the ability to feel empathy and benevolence for others

Have you ever wondered how the Dalai Lama remains kindhearted and compassionate despite the raging violence tearing apart his home country? The secret to the exiled Tibetan leader’s unwavering magnanimity may lie in mindfulness-based meditation.

A study conducted at Northeastern University College of Science showed that even a brief meditation intervention made participants 50% more compassionate. In yet another study published in 2008 in the journal PLOS ONE, both experienced and non-experienced meditators who practiced compassion meditation. It is widely practiced by Tibetan leaders and showed more brain activity in regions linked with empathy while meditating than when not meditating.

6. Boosts attention span and focus

The seemingly nonsensical Zen practice of “thinking about not thinking” has been shown to boost people’s attention span by liberating the mind from distraction. A brain-scan study published in the journal PLOS ONE in 2008, shows the Zen-meditation training where a person stays alert and aware of their posture and breathing, while dismissing wondering thoughts revealed different activities in parts of the brain linked with spontaneous burst of thoughts and wondering minds.

It was observed that brains were quicker to return to the “Zen mode” even after being distracted for a considerable amount of time compared to brains that had not done any meditation training. People’s ability to focus and hold attention even on boring stimulus improves significantly with mindfulness.

7. Mindfulness increases resilience and equanimity

Richie Davidson who is a neuroscientist, and Paul Ekman – one of the world’s leading researchers on emotions – performed a series of studies on The Dalai Lama’s right hand man Lama Oser – a European monk with over 30 years of meditative experience.

The researchers found that Lama Oser’s left-to-right prefrontal cortex activity ratio (measured with an MRI scanner and compared to a sample of 175 people) was quite literally off the chart. His prefrontal cortex activity ratio asymmetry indicated insane levels of equanimity, well-being, and resilience to setbacks, all of which were largely attributed to his discipline of mindfulness.

8. It slows down neurodegenerative diseases

A pilot study led by researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center suggests that the positive brain changes associated with mindful meditation like stress reduction may be the answer for slowing the progression of age-related cognitive disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.

Alzheimer’s patients who took part in the study showed less cognitive decline after an 8-week mindfulness-based stress reduction program than a second group who did not take the program.

What’s more, patients who took part in the mindfulness-based program reported higher levels of well-being, which incidentally also helps accelerate recovery.

9. Enhances creativity

The two main factors that determine levels of creativity are: divergent thinking (coming up with lots of ideas) and convergent thinking (solidifying those ideas into one brilliant concept.)

Researchers at Leiden University led by Cognitive psychologist Lorenza Colzato studied the effects of two different types of meditation practices on divergent and convergent thinking. They found that mindful meditation significantly improved both divergent and convergent thinking.

Interestingly, the type of meditation performed had an impact on which type of creative thinking was improved. For example, free association meditation improved divergent thinking more than focused attention meditation.

10. Mindfulness reduces feeling of loneliness

A recent study at Carnegie Mellon University led by J. David Creswell looked at 40 older adults and found that just 30 minutes of meditation a day for eight weeks decreased their feelings of loneliness. That’s significant because decreased feelings of loneliness coupled with increased compassion and resilience can lead to an incredibly happy, content and fulfilling life of meaning.

Remember that, as important it is to relax your body after a heavy workout, you must also calm the mind after a hard day of thinking.
