WHAT IS MINDFULNESS MEDITATION?

Mindfulness meditation means paying attention – deliberately paying attention to the present moment without judging it.

How can paying attention be helpful?

Most of us spend the majority of time either stuck in the past with events that can’t be changed, or thinking about the future – caught up in the dream tangle of ‘If only...’

When we are stuck in the past or caught up in the possibilities of the future we are not present and we miss so many of the moments that make up our life.

We can learn to cultivate awareness of the present moment by practising mindfulness – through formal and informal meditation practices.

You can learn how to practise secular mindfulness meditation online in group sessions with live teacher interaction and support.

I also offer workplace tasters and sessions around the country.

Who is this mindfulness for?

Mindfulness meditation has been shown to be helpful for all of us – whether we are suffering from physical or emotional pain or simply the ‘full catastrophe’ of life, that is, the joys and sorrows of being human.
We all suffer from stress at some point in our lives and learning to be present can make our lives feel richer and more fulfilling and help us manage the ups ands downs of everyday life.
