Autumn Mindfulness Morning 21st October

Published on by Sara

A perfect way to boost your well-being this Autumn!
The term Mindfulness is being used more often these days, but what is it all about? Mindfulness has its roots in Buddhist meditation practice whilst incorporating activities which resonate with contemporary lifestyles.

It is a gentle, easy way to reduce stress and anxiety, to help you live more in the present and develop appreciation for each moment.

Mindfulness practice helps us to let go of mind chatter and judgement. It also helps us to foster compassion for ourselves and others.

This workshop will introduce you to mindfulness using practical techniques which are easy and enjoyable to try.

We’ll explore formal techniques such as following the breath, body scan or loving kindness meditation, and try some informal ways of mindfulness practice which can easily be continued at home.

The price of this workshop is £27.

Enjoy being Mindful this Springtime

At last, the dark Winter days are over and Spring is here! But, how many of us are really paying attention to what is outside our window?

So much is happening right now! I originally trained as an environmental biologist and am now a passionate advocate of ecotherapy. I believe, and research has proven, that spending time out in nature is good for us! So, I invite you to step outside……. go to a local park, walk along a canal path, spend time in a bluebell wood, sit on a bench in your garden – and immerse yourself in the burgeoning life that is happening all around you this Spring.

Close your eyes and feel the warmth of the sunshine on your face and body; listen to the symphony of birdsong; feel the breeze in your hair and upon your cheeks and hands; look at the colours – the vibrant greens, the blossoms, the gorgeous blue-purple of the bluebells. Gently touch and feel the delicacy of petals, breathe in and smell the scents of the flowers and tree blossoms. Be fully present in these moments, experience them completely, with all your senses. And know that you are intrinsically connected to nature and can reconnect any time you choose to.
