Learn, practice, be supported
''We humans have lost the wisdom of genuinely resting and relaxing. We worry too much. We don’t allow our bodies to heal, and we don’t allow our minds and hearts to heal.''

A mind at peace with itself

Mindfulness is not simply sitting with the eyes closed and trying to relax. It is so much more and once mastered can change your life.
To be mindful we simply learn techniques to help us be fully aware of what our experience is in the present moment. This raises awareness of our whole body and allows us space to choose how to respond. Practicing mindfulness can change your relationship with your thoughts and feelings, bringing more awareness, understanding and control. There is scientific evidence that the practice can change your brain, enabling you to be a true friend to yourself and fully be the wonderful person you are.

Why meditate?
"Don’t meditate to fix yourself, to heal yourself, to improve yourself, to redeem yourself;
rather, do it as an act of love, of deep warm friendship to yourself.
In this way there is no longer any need for the subtle aggression of self-improvement, for the endless guilt of not doing enough.
It offers the possibility of an end to the ceaseless round of trying so hard that wraps so many people’s lives in a knot.
Instead there is now meditation as an act of love. How endlessly delightful and encouraging."
