Esther Ghey says she now wants to give the gift of mindfulness to others.
The mother of murdered teenager Brianna Ghey says "mindfulness saved her life" as she urges the government to roll out her mental wellbeing in schools campaign.
Ms Ghey said she has been practising mindfulness - a mental state achieved by focusing awareness on the present - for 10 years and the technique has helped her "build a mental strength" to deal with the loss of her daughter. "Like the bird sound, the cherry blossom on the trees, the pink skies in the evening, and being able to take that time and be in the present moment really helps," she added.
"Whether its changing curriculum or getting it fitted into the curriculum, we need to free up time for this because it is so important," she said.Ms Ghey said many teachers and parents outside of Warrington had been asking when the sessions could be introduced into their schools.
