You are asked to make a commitment to daily home practice of around forty-five minutes per week. We will explore the ways in which mindfulness can support us in responding to the events in our lives rather than being caught up in reactivity - how can we pause in the midst of the everything that is demanding our attention and tune into what is actually happening within and around us, and thus afford ourselves the opportunity to respond in more helpful ways.It is a moment-by-moment awareness of our thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations and surrounding environment through a gentle, compassionate lens. It supports us in being fully present and in the moment.
Mindfulness offers us the space to pause, focus our attention, breathe and find inner stillness amongst our busy lives. It is the practice of slowing down and paying attention – so that we don’t miss our lives precious moments and can equally learn to deal more effectively with times that may be stressful.
