Welcome to
Alison Keane - Educating In Mindfulness
Mindfulness is a way of being in the present moment, a specific way, and just noticing what arises in the mind without judgement and as open-heartedly as possible.
In Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) participants learn progressively how to do this within a supportive group environment. A commitment to practising meditation and mindfulness in everyday life is also important for positive change. This change in the way that we 'meet' what arises in our lives - challenging life events, stress, painful moods - may help us better cope in both the short and long term. We can then be more available to enjoy the wonderful and joyful things that happen in our lives as they're happening.
About Us
I teach Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) an eight week course to show people how to use mindfulness, breath awareness, meditation and gentle movement in their lives as a way of managing stress in the short and long term.

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction
Mindfulness is about being 'present' to each new moment as it happens...pleasurable moments, fun times, even tough times.
When we consciously hold attention in the present moment without judgement we are learning to exercise the 'mindfulness muscle'. Like all workouts this takes practice and discipline.

Counselling
A good counsellor doesn’t fix things for you… or tell you, or a significant other what to do. Rather, you may find that time spent in counselling validates, supports and empowers you to find your own helpful pathways through challenging issues and situations.
