Mindfulness

Mindfulness is a secular practice that help us to

• be present in each moment

• give attention to our thoughts, feelings and sensations

• learn to work gently and positively with our self-critical voice

Mindfulness helps us to become more aware of how we feel and how we perceive what's happening.  This can help to reduce feelings of

• being stressed or overwhelmed

• struggling to concentrate

• feeling like a failure

Mindfulness can help you to stay calm, focused and better manage the pressures of life. Everyone can benefit from and enjoy Mindfulness.

How to practice Mindfulness

We use simple meditation techniques like focusing on the breath to learn to pay attention to the present moment. Through Mindfulness, you practise the ability to accept that thoughts and feelings are not permanent but come and go. This can help us disengage from worry and detrimental negative thinking.

You can practise Mindfulness anywhere – on your own, through group sessions, or courses.
