Mindfulness helps us notice what’s happening.
Compassion helps us respond with kindness.

When we bring the two together, something changes.
We stop striving to “fix” ourselves and start softening into the moment.

Sometimes that’s all it takes to shift how the whole day feels.

Mindfulness grounds us and compassion reminds us we belong here.

Feeling tense or disconnected from your body?

When life moves fast, the body often holds what the mind has raced past, tight shoulders, a clenched jaw, a shallow breath.

We’ve created this short carousel to help you pause and reconnect through a Compassionate Body Scan, a few quiet moments to notice, breathe and soften.

There’s no right way to do it.
Just bring gentle awareness to each part of your body and offer it a little kindness.

You might notice your breath deepening or your shoulders lowering as the body starts to release.

A few minutes of mindful attention can change the tone of your whole day 💙

Save this post for later or try it now, wherever you are.

Mindfulness training has never been more popular,and that’s something to celebrate.
It shows how much people are seeking calm, compassion and connection in their lives.

But with so many options available, it can be hard to know which ones truly prepare you to teach with confidence and integrity.

Accredited mindfulness training isn’t about ticking boxes.
It’s about ensuring quality, depth and safety, creating space for reflection, supervision and real practice.

That’s exactly what our Compassionate Mindful Resilience Teacher Training was designed for. To support you to develop both the inner and outer skills needed to guide others with care and authenticity.

Because mindfulness can only be shared genuinely when it’s lived from the inside out. 💙

We sometimes hear that mindfulness is “fluffy.”

But research says otherwise.
A recent study showed that staff who took part in workplace mindfulness sessions saw a 31% drop in stress levels, along with improved morale and focus.

Mindfulness at work isn’t a luxury or a trend.
It’s a practical way to build calmer, clearer, more compassionate teams.

Because real resilience doesn’t come from pushing harder,
it comes from learning how to pause, even when the pressure builds. 💙

Ever feel like there’s too much wellness advice out there?

Every post seems to tell us to do more, another morning routine, another practice, another thing to “fix” ourselves.

But real wellbeing isn’t about doing it all.
It’s about giving yourself permission to pause.

To breathe.
To notice.
To rest.

If you’ve been chasing the next thing that promises calm, maybe today is your reminder to stop chasing.

Because the first step towards feeling well is often the simplest one...
just allowing yourself to stop. 💙

As Breast Cancer Awareness Month comes to a close, we’re honoured to share Lorna’s story.

Lorna joined our Compassionate Mindful Resilience with Cancer Support course after her second breast cancer diagnosis, seeking a way to find calm, not just in her mind, but in her body.

Through gentle mindfulness and compassion practices, she discovered new ways to meet fear with softness, and to reconnect with herself during moments of uncertainty.

Her story reminds us that resilience doesn’t always look like strength.

Sometimes, it looks like a hand resting on the heart, a deep breath, a moment of kindness toward yourself. 💗

💙 The next Compassionate Mindful Resilience with Cancer Support course begins on Monday 27th January 2025, designed for people living with and beyond cancer. The course helps cultivate balance, compassion and self-kindness through mindfulness-based practice.
