Learn mindfulness

South Devon

Mindfulness can feel like a bit of a buzzword, even though the practice has been around for centuries.

It may feel to you that there is some stigma involved with ‘admitting’ you’d like some help or more ‘mindfulness’ in your life.

Or you don’t really understand how it can actually help.

It can often feel like something that is not attainable, or something external to us that would be nice to have but feels somewhat elusive or hard to get.

But the truth is, it’s not that difficult (when you know how), it’s available to everyone and incorporating it into your everyday, can truly change your life and outlook for the better.

It doesn’t have to involve meditating everyday, or doing anything particularly special ~ Although meditation and other practices we will discuss can make a huge difference.

But what it really boils down to is as simple as being present, being aware, noticing and giving attention to what is going on now, in this moment of time, with intention but without judging the experience and allowing it to be what it is.

And it is through this simple reconnection with the everyday moments of our life, by truly living moment to moment, by becoming more conscious and aware, that it is possible to rediscover a sense of peace, calm and joy in your life. To recognise what is important and what is not, what deserves our attention and what doesn’t and to become fully present in a way that means you don’t feel that life is slipping you by, drowning under that never ending to do list and the constant overwhelm and stress it creates.

An introduction to Mindfulness

~ cultivate more peace, calm, joy and resilience in your life.

During this 7 week group course, at Creacombe Farm , Yealmpton, I will gently introduce you to mindfulness and how incorporating this practice into your everyday life can change you for the better.

Each week through a mix of talks, practice, enquiry and group discussion we will explore everything from what mindfulness is (and isn’t), how to practice daily, being present, learning to feel as well as think, observing your thoughts and the emotions/feelings these create, plus how to have more compassion for yourself (and others).

In return, mindfulness will help you to feel more calm, grounded, balanced and ease the overwhelm and stresses of daily life. Mindfulness will make you feel happier.

This is a safe space for you to explore what it means to you and how to cultivate a personal practice, in a way that feels attainable and doable.

This is a group course and whilst I understand this can feel daunting to some, I would like to reassure you that there is much benefit in coming together as a group and discussing our personal experiences and thoughts on a subject. It is my experience that some of the biggest insights and learnings often come from the people we share with and vice versa. It is invaluable getting other people’s perspectives and listening to others’ understanding and experiences.

I encourage everyone who attends to be mindful of one another and respect each other’s privacy and vulnerabilities, as a group .

Many of us are used to making time for our body, this is your time to look after your mental health, like yoga for the mind. The ripple effects will be felt throughout all aspects of your life, body, mind and soul.

“I wasn’t really sure what to expect when joining the mindfulness course but hoped it would help me ‘slow down’ and bring a sense of calm back into my life.

The course has introduced me to new methods and ways of thinking which have encouraged me to make the time to practice mindfulness regularly.

Katie’s gentle guidance created a safe space in which we could listen, share and explore new concepts, this has really had a positive impact and made a difference to the way I feel!”

mindfulness will transform you

Emotional trauma, chronic stress and overwhelm (essentially the way we all live in society today!) affect the brain’s ability to function, including the regulation of emotions causing you to feel stuck and unhappy in life.

Mindfulness teaches you to create new neural pathways, this is a scientifically proven way of rewiring the brain and creating a whole, balanced and happy life.

What is mindfulness?

Mindfulness is a type of meditation in which you focus on being intensely aware of what you’re sensing and feeling in the moment, without interpretation or judgement. Practising mindfulness involves breathing methods, guided imagery, and other practices to relax the body and mind and help reduce stress. ~ Mayo Clinic

I will guide you to become more mindful in your life and business, every day, whilst learning tools and techniques to help and support you.

Mindfulness is a way of life.

It’s about learning to be in the present moment, becoming aware of all of your senses, your body and soul, as well as your mind.

When your mind, body & soul are harmonised, you will feel a sense of wholeness and connection; as you become more whole and connected, your intuition and self awareness will increase, you will create a deep level of self trust, love and compassion for yourself and others.

It also works on the parasympathetic nervous system, which has a rest and digest function. When this is working in harmony it will help you to preserve energy and achieve a state of homeostasis, vital for balance, stability, positive mental health and physical well-being.

Above all it will calm you ~ enabling you step back from the hustle, pushing and dramas of life and cultivate a sense of deep gratitude and inner knowing that all is well, even when external appearances suggest otherwise.
