Ever wondered what the link is between your favourite film or TV show and mindfulness?

The Pause Before is excited to be supporting one of its longest running partners, the London Screenwriters’ Festival as they move online and ensure “the show must go on”.

Storytelling is one of the oldest and most popular mediums in life and business today. If you are looking to share your story, write the next blockbuster, understand the tools and techniques of story-telling from the experts or watch some amazing films with their actual screenwriter then this is the Festival for you. Join live or watch the recorded sessions at your leisure - there is something for everyone.

The research on Mindfulness and creativity is well known. Recent research by the University of Rotterdam found that people who practised mindfulness for 10 minutes per day came up with more ideas showing the important link between mindfulness and divergent thinking - a key attribute in the best screenwriters.

Here are our favourite Top 3 mindfulness scenes in film:-

1. Karate Kid 2 - “Breathe in, breathe out scene” - using breath to centre and check in with yourself.

2. Dirty Dancing - “Log dancing scene“ - sense your surrounding to learn balance

3. Star Wars Rogue One - “One with the Force scene” - using an affirmation to focus his performance
