Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Course (MBSR) - application process now closed

 This course is available by application only. 

 

What is Mindfulness and how can it benefit you?

 

Mindfulness is developed by purposefully paying attention in a non-judgmental way to your experience of your body, your mind and the world around you. Mindfulness is about being awake and aware and living in the present, rather than dwelling in the past or anticipating the future.

Staying in touch with the present in this way, from one moment to the next, may lead you to experience yourself differently, perhaps feeling less stuck, or recognising more strength, balance and confidence in yourself.

 

Mindfulness is taught through meditation skills which include bringing attention to the breath and the body during stillness and movement.

 

Mindfulness is, however, not a ‘quick fix’.  Developing mindfulness skills requires the motivation and discipline to practice the skills on a consistent basis.  But research shows that most people feel the effort is worthwhile and long –lasting in many different ways.

 

 For example most people completing the basic 8 week Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction course report lasting physical and psychological benefits including:

  • Greater self-confidence, more acceptance of self and more acceptance of life as it is.
  • An increased ability to cope effectively with both short and long-term stressful situations.
  • An increased ability to relax and experience calm.
  • More energy, enthusiasm and appreciation for life.
  • Greater ability to sustain concentration and focus.
