Retreats In Spain

I'm offering the Mindfulness course once again to help people lower stress and anxiety. This time it's online and 1-2-1 so you can choose a time that suits you.

WHAT IS MINDFULNESS AND MBSR?

MBSR, or Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, is an eight-week mindfulness training program that was created by Jon Kabat-Zinn in 1979 at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center. MBSR is supported by research that shows that it is effective at addressing chronic pain, anxiety, depression, and general stress reduction.
​
What can Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction do for me?

The program can train your attention to help you cultivate self-awareness, which allows you to make more fully reasoned out and wise decisions in your day-to-day life. You are invited to incorporate mindfulness into your routine, which will also help you be more aware of the present and focus on it. These strategies help you avoid rumination, either on the past or the future. You can learn to respond to stress, rather than reacting to it.
​
The course gives you the tools to create a new relationship to stress and to life's ups and downs. MBSR is seen as the "gold-standard" in meditation courses and with over 30 years-worth of scientific research that consistently shows how mindfulness practices can enhance our physical and mental well-being. It can improve:

• Concentration
• Working memory
• Emotional intelligence
• Mental stamina
• Sleep
• Immune functioning
• Relationships
• Life satisfaction

and Reduce:

• Stress
• Depression
• Anxiety
• Distress
• Pain
• Ruminating
• Tension

"I face my challenges with readiness rather than dread. I now have a reference to who I want to be and how I want to feel, and I know when I am in "my story" and how to let it go. There are no words to describe how important this work is. You just have to do it and find out for yourself!"

"Through mindfulness I experienced self-love and self-compassion. I put strong emphasis on experienced, because this was the transformative part for me. I’ve talked about it before with therapists and friends, but I never understood what it actually meant until I went through this course.

There are over 60 great workshops to choose from on the 30€ ticket. I hope you'll join us. And PM me if you want a ticket as they are only being sold before hand- none on the door.

Ever fancied trying meditation, but didn’t know where to start? Or tried it once but gave up in frustration because you couldn’t stop thinking? Then this session is for you.
Join accredited Mindfulness teacher Emma Reynolds for this entertaining and enlightening session aimed at debunking some of the myths around Mindful meditation (like “having thoughts whilst meditating is wrong”)
What you may just discover as you sit and allow thoughts and feelings to come and go, with no aim or objective, is that the very calm you’ve been searching for was here all along.
So – take a seat, take a breath – and join us for a leap into the unknown. It’s not what you think!
“We don’t meditate to control our thoughts, we meditate to stop our thoughts controlling us.”
