What is Mindfulness?
The core message of Mindfulness is to become aware and be present in the moment, and this may relate to our thoughts, feelings, perceptions and impulses in a completely different way.
What are the benefits of Mindfulness?
Mindfulness training is very effective for coping with:
– Stress
– Depression
– Anxiety
– Overeating problems
– and other difficult emotions such as sadness, irritation, frustration
Positive qualities of Mindfulness practice, which gradually become automatic responses are:
– Openness
– Patience
– Trust
– Letting go
– Non-judgemental, non-striving and accepting attitude.
In Mindfulness, emphasis is on learning through personal experience – not theory – and therefore it is important to do your homework. This can include Mindfulness meditation, guided body scan, awareness exercises, and possibly yoga.
What do you do at the workshops?
Mindfulness workshops include both theory and practice. Mindfulness principles are presented and analyzed in order to make it possible for participants to use them in Mindfulness exercises. You get to practice Mindfulness by basic guided Mindfulness exercises which are followed by group discussions. Alternation between theory, method and exercises makes the course varied and allows for a greater reflection that contribute to a greater understanding of Mindfulness. Variety is also needed to avoid sitting too long in meditative postures.
Who can benefit from Mindfulness?
Just anyone! In order to learn Mindfulness, you do not necessarily have to have a problem. Mindfulness is not only a problem solver, but in essence, it is a passport to balanced and quality living. Therefore, all courses are available for both individuals, groups, municipalities, businesses, hospitals, schools and such other institutions.
