Recognizing the importance of promoting the well-being of all members of the FEU community, Far Eastern University has established a Mindfulness Room that serves as a safe, calming, and restorative space for students, faculty, and support staff. The Mindfulness Room provides an environment for quiet reflection, meditation, yoga, and various mindfulness and well-being activities. Its primary purpose is to create opportunities for individuals to pause, reflect, and cultivate greater awareness of their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
The Mindfulness Room is managed by the Guidance and Counseling Office (GCO) in coordination with the Wellness and Recreational Program (WRP) Department of the Institute of Education. Programs and activities conducted in the Mindfulness Room are implemented through collaborative efforts with FEU Healing Spaces, Student Development and Continuing Education, and various student organizations under the mentorship of the Guidance and Counseling Office. This collaborative approach ensures that the Mindfulness Room offers diverse, meaningful, and accessible well-being initiatives that support the holistic development of students, faculty, and support staff across the FEU community.
One of the regular activities offered in the Mindfulness Room is Quiet Time, a dedicated period for stillness and mental rest. Quiet Time encourages individuals to disconnect from daily distractions and focus on the present moment. Through silence and reflection, participants can gain mental clarity, restore their energy, and foster a deeper sense of self-awareness and inner calm.
The room also hosts a variety of mindfulness and well-being sessions facilitated by the Guidance and Counseling Office and FEU Healing Spaces. These sessions cover topics such as gratitude, happiness, character strengths development, emotional regulation, stress management, and other practices that support holistic well-being.
Creative and expressive activities, including doodle drawing, coloring, and origami, are likewise offered as therapeutic outlets to help reduce stress and promote relaxation.
In addition, guided meditation sessions are conducted in the Mindfulness Room. These sessions help participants develop mindfulness skills through breathing exercises and focused attention practices that encourage presence, calmness, and emotional balance.
Through these programs and activities, the Mindfulness Room serves as a nurturing space where members of the FEU community can learn and practice mindfulness, enhance their overall well-being, and cultivate the ability to live more fully and intentionally in the present moment.
