INTRODUCTION TO
MINDFULNESS

 

 

 

Why ?

Mindfulness is a very ancient technique of meditation, dating back to the pre-Christian era, yet its simplicity, adaptability, and range of practical applications make it startlingly relevant for our modern times. It is currently being used for healthcare, education, sports, and business, on account of its many benefits. Modern science has established a wide range of positive effects, including:

• Relieving stress and promoting relaxation.

• Increased mental performance, concentration, and attention.

• More effectiveness in the workplace, including better organisational skills and creativity.

• Greater happiness, confidence, and wellbeing.

• Improved health and vitality.

• Greater satisfaction in relationships.

• Mastering our everyday thoughts and emotions, rather than being driven by them.

 

How ? 

Mindfulness is a simple meditation practice that promotes wellbeing, focuses the mind and calms the emotions. It has been shown to increase relaxation, coping skills and mental performance. During this session, you will learn a basic mindfulness practice, working with the breath, sensations and thoughts. We will discuss how to practice
this in daily life, and how to use the practice as an effective tool for increasing our wellbeing, mental performance, and efficiency at work
