A space to breathe
Mindfulness practice has been shown to alleviate stress and anxiety, reduce chronic pain, prevent relapse of depression, and increase our sense of happiness, joy, appreciation and well-being.
What is mindfulness and how can it help you?
Mindfulness, at its simplest, is paying attention to the present moment – with intention, kindness, and curiosity. With mindfulness training, we find ourselves waking up to the ways in which we create and recreate problems for ourselves by being unaware of the automatic choices that we make, moment to moment.
Mindfulness does not change the fact that life will always present us with ups and downs, challenges and joys, loves, losses and uncertainly – but with mindfulness, we can cultivate our capacity to respond rather than react. It can help you if you are experiencing any of the following:
Anxiety • Low mood • Burn out & stress • Exhaustion & fatigue • Sleeplessness • Chronic pain • A sense of disappointment • Indecisiveness • A live more fully • A need for a change of direction • A wish to learn more about yourself.
