Your Invitation to the Practice of Mindfulness...
With the Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction program you are invited to learn how to transform your relationship to the way you think, feel, love, work, and play.
Mindfulness is a non-judgmental approach to paying attention to the present moment. By practicing mindfulness you can change the way you think about your experiences and therefore cope more effectively with everyday stress, including anxiety, chronic pain or mild depression.
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) teaches us how to bring mindfulness (awareness) into each day so as to better cope with the inevitable ups and downs of life.
What's included?
- Guided instruction in mindfulness meditation
- Gentle stretching and mind-body awareness exercises
- Group discussion aimed at increasing awareness in everyday life
- Essential daily home practices that concretise the benefits
- Techniques that can be practised anywhere, anytime, to fit into your lifestyle.
- A workbook, selected readings and a series of guided meditation
Anyone can learn mindfulness...
Many people come to these courses for reasons that are quite diverse, such as chronic pain, sleeplessness, or to manage feelings of overwhelm. Others enrol because they feel inexplicably that something is missing in their lives. Participation in an MBSR program is an invitation to move toward greater balance, control and participation in your life.
Each course is different - a co-creation between teacher and student, but the actual experience of the program and the technique could feel like:
- Practical ancient wisdom inviting us to wake-up and live as though every moment really matters... because it actually does
- A practise of resting in moment-to-moment awareness of what is - and having the world rise up to meet you there
- A skilful path of awakening with the intimacy of life
- An inspiration, a challenge, a friend, a teacher, a gift, a support for self, a community, a healing program
- A gentle exposition of the more difficult aspects of being human, supported by a warm and caring sense of connection with community
