 Meditation & Mindfulness  Course

'Our minds are most often consumed with thoughts from the PAST, alternatively we find ourselves deeply immersed in thoughts about the FUTURE'
The present moment is filled with Joy & Happiness.  If you are attentive you will see it"    
                                                           (Thich Nhat Hanh)

   long-term stress

  greater understanding

 'You can't stop the waves, but you can 
   learn how to surf'

"What day is it?" asked Pooh
"It's today," squeaked Piglet.
"My favourite day," said Pooh.
                                                           (A.A. Milne)

The course involves:

You will receive training in various mindfulness meditations. The skills you develop will assist you in creating a greater awareness of your thoughts, feelings and emotions, this is an important part of helping you to cope successfully with the stress and anxiety that can arise when we encounter challenges and difficulties.  

When we explore our experiences we are able to develop a different perspective on how we look at things, this helps us to look at situations and circumstances that we face very differently. 
We discover that we can choose to do things differently, no longer do we find ourselves reacting to the problems we face, a space has been created between us and the problem that enables us to choose a more appropriate and beneficial way of responding.

The PAUSE - Group Sessions:

The group sessions are dedicated towards you experiencing and exploring the meditations, you will be provided with guidance & support and assistance with any difficulties which may arise. 

You are encouraged to continue to practice at home between group meetings.  Commitment to maintaining a regular daily practice is an important part of the course and is an essential requirement for your on-going progression.
