Introduction to Mindfulness and Well-Being

A two hour session which will provide an introduction to mindfulness and an opportunity to learn how being mindful brings awareness into everything we do with positive benefits for our health, happiness, relationships and work, therefore creating a more balanced and less stress approach to life.

It can be helpful for everyone living in our fast paced world and for those who would like to take time out from the home or workplace, in a safe environment to stop and relax, please note this is not a group therapy session or an official (MBSR)Mindfulness based stress reduction course, however it provides an introduction to how skills can be learned to gain more awareness and acceptance of physical or emotional discomfort and coping strategies of being able to notice what is going on inside and outside of ourselves and to integrate some quiet time and peace which can enable a positive shift.

What will the session consist of:

Some short guided mindful practice and relaxation which can take place either seated in ordinary chairs or on the floor (mats provided but you might like to bring your own cushion or blanket) participants choose their position to suit their own comfort.

There will be some general discussion and information about health and wellbeing and time to just to stop as we all lead busy lives and often miss out by not stopping to notice what is really there in the present moment.

Information about national Mindfulness programmes and self-help books, apps will also be given.
