MINDFULNESS
Mindfulness is an ancient mind-body practice, which like yoga, has been around for more than 2500 years. Research shows that mindfulness has a powerful effect on your brain, balancing your biochemistry, improving self-regulation, moods, sleep, focus, wellbeing and enhancing memory and cognitive functions. It increases compassion and gratitude and helps managing anxiety and depression.
Through breathing with curious awareness and paying attention to the sensations in our body, we learn not to be hi-jacked by thoughts or emotions. Through mindfulness we connect with ourselves again, are able to change how we deal with the circumstances we find ourselves in and thus how we carry ourselves in the world. After all, our breathing and our body are always with us; we can learn to always consciously return to them and find support there in any situation.
Mindfulness supports people individually (more physical and emotional wellbeing, stress relief, improved sleep) and it also supports teams. Teams will be more effective because of increased productivity, job satisfaction, less sick leave, improved communication and more creative problem-solving.
Mindfulness sessions are organized online for groups as well as individuals. They can be attended on a stand-alone basis or as part of a 10-week class. The length of the sessions usually varies between 30 and 45 minutes.
Creating the habit of a mindfulness practice is a great way to deal with the pressure we experience, especially during the current and challenging times while we are facing a pandemic, violence and climate change. That is why I like these sessions to be accessible, and choose to keep fees per session low.
