Mindfulness Meditation 4 - Week Course
ABOUT MINDFULNESS
Whether you are dealing with chronic stress, illness, issues stemming from imbalance in your life - or simply wanting to incorporate a great wellness practice in your day - one of the things that can really help is to include the "reset" offered by mindfulness meditation.
Mindfulness is a very potent way to support yourself and to 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, 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 and it's compatibility and synergy with most forms of medical treatment.
THE COURSE
This 4 week course offers a thorough introductory grounding in the WHAT, WHY and HOW of Mindfulness-based Stillness Meditation (MBSM), a type of mindfulness developed at the Gawler Cancer Foundation in Australia and recognised internationally by leaders in the field. (Part 2 goes further into emotions, awareness and finding stillness).
Each 2 hour class involves a mix of learning, discussion and practice. Each week builds on the previous ones, so that by the end of the course, you have a well- established and robust basis for a satisfying ongoing home practice.
