We all know meditation and mindfulness are beneficial to our wellbeing, but incorporating them into our busy lives can be a challenge. As someone who needs to add “meditate for 10 minutes” to my To-Do list to get it done, it can start to seem like a chore—quite the opposite of what meditation is supposed to achieve! 

For all us crafters who like to keep our hands busy, we can find ourselves practicing meditation and mindfulness when we immerse ourselves in making. That’s why I wanted to chat to yoga teacher and craft lover, Emma from Beach Gypsy Yoga & Crafts, to explain her understanding of the connection between crafts, meditation and mindfulness.
