This exciting 6 Week Online course consists of Mindfulness and Meditation practices and is designed for beginners and those who have already begun a Mindfulness practice but would like a more structured training.

This course is suitable for those who would like to increase their well-being and happiness, reduce stress, worry, anxiety and learn better ways of thinking.

Benefits of being mindful:

• Anxiety, stress, depression, exhaustion and irritability all decrease with regular sessions of meditation.
• Memory improves, reaction times become faster and mental and physical stamina
• Regular meditators are happier and more contented, and are far less likely to suffer from psychological distress!
• Mindfulness can dramatically reduce pain and the emotional reaction to it. Recent trials suggest that average pain ‘unpleasantness’ levels can be reduced by 57 per cent while accomplished meditators report reductions of up to 93 per cent
• Mindfulness improves mood and quality of life in chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia and lower-back pain, IBS, and in challenging medical illnesses, including multiple sclerosis and cancer
• Mindfulness improves working memory, creativity, attention span and reaction speeds. It also enhances mental and physical stamina and resilience
• Meditation improves emotional intelligence
• Mindfulness is at least as good as medication or counselling for the treatment of clinical-level depression.
• Mindfulness reduces addictive and self-destructive behaviour. These include the abuse of illegal and prescription drugs and excessive alcohol intake.
• Meditation enhances brain function. It increases grey matter in areas associated with self- awareness, empathy, self-control and attention
• It soothes the parts of the brain that produce stress hormones and builds those areas that lift mood and promote learning
• It even reduces some of the thinning of certain areas of the brain that naturally occurs with ageing
• Meditation improves the immune system. Regular meditators are admitted to hospital far less often for cancer, heart disease and numerous infectious diseases
• Mindfulness may reduce ageing at the cellular level by promoting chromosomal health and resilience.
• Meditation and mindfulness improve control of blood sugar in type II diabetes
• Meditation improves heart and circulation by reducing blood pressure and lowering the risk of hypertension.
• Mindfulness reduces the risks of developing and dying from cardiovascular disease and lowers its severity should it arise.

So – if you would like to learn how to be more mindful in your life this is the perfect time.
