Mindfulness is the practice of purposely focusing your attention on the present moment and accepting it without judgment. Numerous studies have shown that mindfulness can help to reduce stress, anxiety and rumination, increase positive states of mind and improve quality of life. During the course of these 24 weeks, we learn what mindfulness is and explore different themes such as acceptance, kindness and self-compassion.
There will be opportunities to practice mindfulness through different activities from journaling to mindful walking, from mindful movement to mindful eating. Participants will start to get familiar with the autopilot mode and learn how to step out that cycle and settle the mind. At the end of this course, participants will have a clear understanding of the core elements of mindfulness and how they can integrate this practice into their daily life.
Participants will be encouraged to watch videos and read related material throughout the programme for a deeper understanding of the practice. The course is suitable for everyone, beginners and those with previous mindfulness experience alike. Group sharing as well as reflection are part of the course as they help to develop and improve understanding of your mindfulness practice. Participants are invited to bring pen and paper to each class and wear comfortable clothing as there will be opportunities to practice some slow and gentle movement.
