Course details
Each week you will be guided through meditation practices (bodyscan, movement, walking, and sitting meditations. There will be discussion about the practice but there is no pressure for you to share your experience.
You will learn about:
Auto-pilot. The mind loves to focus on the past or future yet we
only have the present moment.
To focus your attention on the present moment using the body and
breath.
Mindful movement and how we can use the breath to help us move
more mindfully.
How thoughts and emotions are linked to bodily sensations and
mood states.
To respond to challenging thoughts & emotions in a more helpful
way.
How the choices we make during these ups and downs can have
an impact of our well-being.
To make wiser choices allowing you to take better care of your
well-being.
The aim of the course is to learn new ways to handle our moods and emotions. It teaches us to take better care of ourselves so that we are able to live our lives in a fuller and healthier way. It promotes a way of being that helps us tackle life problems – physical, mental, social and emotional. The focus of the mindfulness practice is to learn to be aware of the small changes in the physical sensations in your body; what is happening in the world around you (using your physical senses) and your thoughts, emotions and moods.
The course encourages us to develop the skill of being aware of our experiences (good and bad, pleasant and unpleasant) from moment to moment -so that we can learn to respond more skilfully to situations rather than simply reacting automatically.
