Mindfulness and the Chinese Librarians

Posted on May 3, 2016May 30, 2020 by Clayton Wehner

Last week my organisation farewelled ‘May’ and ‘Charles’, two librarians from China’s Shandong Province who have spent the last ten weeks working here in Adelaide with the State Library of South Australia on an exchange program.

My little weakness

Posted on May 2, 2016May 30, 2020 by Clayton Wehner

There was a time when I was too proud to admit any form of weakness.

Tonight I moved on to the next stage of my mindfulness journey – I attempted a 25 minute ‘body scan’ meditation. Now, those people who know me well understand that I have great difficulty sitting still for more than several minutes at a time. Indeed, I have been flat out sitting still for the introductory 10-minute…

Me and Mindfulness – An Unlikely Pairing?

Posted on February 19, 2016June 12, 2020 by Clayton Wehner

The practice of ‘mindfulness’ seems to be all the rage in contemporary business and management circles (and in wider society too). Before commencing my MBA degree, I hadn’t had any exposure to it whatsoever, but at least two of the study units that I have undertaken in the past year have included mindfulness exercises as part of…
