Mastering Mindfulness
$45 for 6 week session
- Do you have stress in your life and would like to learn a skill that can be used lifelong to reduce it?
- Are you curious about where your stress and patterns of stress come from?
- Do you find harder and harder to focus due to the increasing every day distractions?
- Do you find it difficult to concentrate and focus, or remember things?
- Is your mind is FULL, and you find that it impedes your ability to present?
Mindfulness is paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, without judgment; in other words being self-aware. It sounds simple, but our brains resist it. Self-awareness scientists say is very healthy, but rarely achieved in today’s busy world full of digital distractions.
- Mindfulness reduces your stress and can be used lifelong.
- Mindfulness builds awareness of where your stress comes from and how to recognize your patterns of stress.
- Mindfulness increases focus and reduces everyday distractions.
- Mindfulness replaces a “mindFULL” and “mindfulness” experience with focused presence of mind
Mindfulness has been reported to produce positive effects on physical and psychological well-being that extend into daily life.
Mindfulness is mental state achieved by focusing one's awareness on the present moment and calmly acknowledging and accepting thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations. It is simple to learn and is effective in enhancing well-being.
