I love to assist others to enjoy inhabiting the body, moving consciously, deepening aliveness, fostering a healthy lifestyle and state of mind in support of mindfulness in every day life as we journey through this extraordinary thing called life, becoming who we are inspired to be. I encourage a practice that is respectful of your ability and changing needs at all times and restorative for your body, heart and mind ... you may like to explore a stronger practice when you are feeling energised and a gentler practice at other times. MINDFULNESS PROGRAM - MINDFUL LIVING A path to emotional resilience. Our emotional resilience as human beings can be sorely challenged depending on the nature and number of stressors we are dealing with at any given time. If you find yourself at times feeling somewhat challenged you may experience unease, restlessness, even a range of emotions, perhaps you are struggling with strong emotions now. You may find it difficult to navigate how you are feeling at such times with the skills you have. Some help to further your inner life skills to cultivate emotional resilience may be beneficial. The program supports and guides participants to learn fundamental clear steps in the practice of mindfulness. Mindfulness guides us to deepen awareness ... recognising what is happening in our inner world - body, heart and mind ... cultivating a kind and compassionate presence with our experience ... With patience and persistence, as we deepen into this quality of presence we are resourced with the strength and courage to meet life's difficulties, be with strong emotions, challenging body sensations and we notice how our mind is perceiving, thinking in ways that are both helpful and unhelpful. With this awareness we have access to choosing how we respond to the life of the moment as we experience it. Mindful of our experience in this way, with practice we are increasingly able to remain calm and less identified with perceptions, opinions, expectations, thoughts and emotions. We are also able to choose, to be less identified with unhelpful patterns of thinking, emotion and responding, and we are freer to perceive, feel and respond to ourselves, to life, with greater wisdom, compassion and creativity. Regular practice helps us to wake up from automaticity, reactivity and unconsciousness often driven by fears and insecurities. It is an effective way to get in touch with our own wisdom and vitality for life, access more of the possibilities within and direct our lives in all ways. It helps enable us to cultivate relationship with ourself, our life, with others and the richness of each moment we are alive.
