The longer we take to complete an outward breath, the more we make use of these natural resources and experience calming, relaxing effects.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-274269 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/yfile.news.yorku.ca\/files\/2020\/03\/FEATURED-four-rock-formation-668353.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"4256\" height=\"1402\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe major teachings of mindfulness are simple and direct,\u201d Ritvo continues. \u201cWe feel better when calmer \u2013 and the human body has resources that enable us to become calmer and more focused. Everyone can pay attention to breathing sensations and by doing so re-locate their attention onto the present moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ritvo has been helping members of the York community access the resources to become calmer and more focused for several years, leading several popular series of on-campus guided meditation sessions for students, faculty and staff.<\/p>\n<p>While events surrounding COVID-19 have changed the nature of these sessions, Ritvo hasn\u2019t let social distancing create isolation for those wanting mindfulness sessions for support. Online meditation sessions have replaced in-person sessions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFortunately, our modern technologies permit communications without infection risks,\u201d Ritvo says. \u201cThis is not a time to \u2018hold back\u2019 but a time to aim for unusual generosity and sensitivity to everyone we connect with.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ritvo is currently holding regular online group meditation sessions, that enable community members to continue to access this resilience-building tool while maintaining social distancing practices. Some are exploring mindfulness as a wellness practice for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>Using <a href=\"https:\/\/yorku.zoom.us\/j\/841827319\">Zoom<\/a> to convene people interested in trying out mindfulness methods in a group format, free of charge, Ritvo is prepared to see the demand for sessions increase as members of the community adjust to the realities of teaching, learning, researching and working from home.<\/p>\n<p>For Ritvo, it\u2019s imperative to maintain this practice throughout this disruption.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur routines are radically disrupted. That alone can cause anxieties to arise,\u201d he says. \u201cOn the other hand, we can find new routines and methods that are anxiety-reducing and mood-elevating. These processes exist \u2013 the challenge is to be creative and persistent in looking for what works best for you.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_258681\" style=\"width: 185px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-258681\" class=\"size-full wp-image-258681\" src=\"https:\/\/yfile.news.yorku.ca\/files\/2018\/11\/Paul-Ritvo.jpg\" alt=\"Paul Ritvo\" width=\"175\" height=\"243\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-258681\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Paul Ritvo<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Ritvo has been extolling \u2013 and employing \u2013 the benefits of using modern technology to support mindfulness throughout his academic career. Most recently, Ritvo and colleagues <a href=\"https:\/\/yfile.news.yorku.ca\/2020\/03\/02\/researchers-funded-to-investigate-online-behavioural-interventions-for-major-depressive-disorder\/\">received a Canadian Institutes of Health Research grant<\/a> to investigate online behavioural interventions for major depressive disorder, following a successful study where 60 per cent of the subjects intervened with were no longer depressed after six months of intervention.<\/p>\n<p>According to Ritvo, the uncertainty brought by events like COVID-19 underscores the positive role of mindfulness in supporting well-being, especially for those with mental health challenges. \u201cIt\u2019s very important to understand the normality of distress under current conditions. We tend to isolate and direct negative cognitions towards ourselves when distressed. We easily get carried away with future worries and negative visions.\"<\/p>\n<p>Mindfulness mediation provides one possible source of support in these situations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s actually helpful, whether it happens within a person or between people, is the full acceptance of the vulnerability experience \u2013 which basically involves accepting how we\u2019re responding, moment-by-moment,\u201d Ritvo explains. \u201cThe less we deny reality, the more we embrace reality, the more our minds generate creative solutions rather than worst-case scenarios.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Those wishing to participate in the online mindfulness sessions can use the <a href=\"https:\/\/yorku.zoom.us\/j\/841827319\">meeting link<\/a> and Zoom ID 841-827-319.<\/p>\n<p>Sessions take place:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mondays <\/strong>\u2013 noon to 1 p.m., 1 p.m. to 2 p.m.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tuesdays<\/strong> \u2013 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wednesdays<\/strong> \u2013 noon to 1 p.m., 1 p.m. to 2 p.m.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fridays<\/strong> \u2013 noon to 1 p.m., 1 p.m. to 2 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/ritvo.lab.yorku.ca\/\">Ritvo Lab<\/a> at York University studies how diseases such as cancer, HIV-AIDS, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and mental disorders can be prevented with health behaviour change, and devises the strategies, programs and methodologies for achieving such changes.
