WHAT IS MINDFULNESS?

Mindfulness is the innate human capacity we have for awareness and attention,. By learning to use our attention more skilfully and understand our thinking more clearly and compassionately we can greatly benefit our well-being. A large body of research shows that consistent mindfulness and compassion practices can bring tangible improvements in many areas of well-being and cognitive performance, including:

• the ability to regulate emotions and lower reactivity

• better sleep

• increased quality of personal relationships

• management of chronic pain

• reduction of  stress

• improvements in concentration and focus

• increased creativity

 

If you are not sure if mindfulness is for you or not, we offer a free initial and no-obligation zoom chat and practice for all One-to-One Courses and you are also welcome to try our free weekly mindfulness group, details at the bottom of the page.
