Online Practice Morning
Psychological skills support good mental, physical and emotional health allowing us to lead more fulfilling lives, both at home and at work. As with any other skills they require regular practice and conscious development.
Our ‘Practice Mornings’ are a means of keeping your mindfulness practice fresh and inspired. They are also an opportunity to reconnect with and/or deepen mindful awareness.
These two hour practice sessions run from 8am to 10am and include:
- Welcome and Intro
- Two 30 minute meditations
- Time to ask any questions you may have about your personal practice.
Join us for an opportunity to…
- practice with others who have completed a mindfulness course
- explore topics of relevance as your mindfulness practice develops
- nourish, cultivate and develop your continued mindfulness practice
Please also see our ‘Tuesday Morning Meditation Group’ for a weekly guided 30 minute meditation.
What are the benefits of practicing mindfulness meditation?
Mindfulness has been the subject of growing attention and interest in recent years, thanks to a rapidly expanding evidence base. This demonstrates it can be helpful for many mental and physical health problems, such as stress, anxiety, high blood pressure, psoriasis, IBS, CFS/ME, fibromyalgia and depression, in addition to promoting general physical and emotional wellbeing.
Researched benefits of a regular mindfulness meditation practice include:
- a greater capacity for relaxation and calmness
- less worry, anxiety and lower instances of depressive episodes
- enhanced emotional agility, resourcefulness and resilience
- improved self-confidence, engagement and creativity
- better sleep quality
- clearer thinking and decision making.
