Mindfulness Meditation (6 week course)

When life is busy and unpredictable anxiety, stress and tension are natural responses - unless we know how to create inner calm and safety.

Mindfulness is a very potent way to develop the capacity for this inner safety and calm. In fact, it is an effective way to support yourself and give both body and mind a break from living in the "Red Zone" of stress and overwhelm. It's an antidote of sorts to anxiety, difficulty concentrating, sleeping issues, poor health or performance and more.

There are now over 4000 published research articles attesting to the therapeutic benefits of meditation for a wide range of physical and psychological conditions. They also show that it works to complement most forms of medical treatment.

The Course:
This 6 week course offers a thorough grounding in the what, why and how of Mindfulness Based Stillness Meditation (MBSM), an internationally - recognized method developed by leaders in the mindfulness and meditation field. Each 2 hour class involved a mix of learning, discussion and practice. The practice meditations are short to begin with (about 3 minutes ) and gradually get longer (up to 15 - 20 minutes). And each week builds on the previous one, so that by the end of the course, you have a robust basis for a beneficial personal practice.

You receive a weekly summary of what was covered in class, and a link to a recording of that week's meditation so that you can practice at home.
