What will I learn?
The core skill that you will learn is ‘mindfulness’; a way of paying attention, on purpose and non-judgmentally, to what goes on in the present moment in your body, mind, and the world around you.
You will learn several key mindfulness practices and have the opportunity to discuss these and to share your experience of them in the group.
This intensive course will teach you skills:
· to help you stay in touch with the present moment and engage more positively with the world
· to develop more appropriate responses to stress rather than reacting in unhelpful ways.
You will also learn:
· how to meditate by watching your breath and becoming aware of changing sensations in the body
· how to get some ‘distance and perspective’ on your thoughts and feelings.
Home practice
To gain maximum benefit, you will be encouraged to set aside 40 to 60 minutes for daily practice.
