The Mindful Museum of You

Chris Jeavons is an ESRC-funded Post Graduate Researcher at the University of Leicester's School of Museum Studies whose research centres on the use of museum objects in teaching the practices, attitudes, and concepts of mindfulness. He aims to develop a museum object-based mindfulness programme as a novel and engaging way to communicate key stress management techniques to university students towards improving psychological well-being in this population.

Listen to Chris, lead us in a mindfulness practice as he invites us to spend time observing and contemplating an object from the Mindful Museum of You, helping you relax, unwind and gain an appreciation for the material that surrounds us in our own lives.
