Mindfulness & Compassion 

This course is designed to teach you how to bring the practices of mindfulness and compassion into your life. Helping you to deal with stress, anxiety, low mood, depression or simply bring more joy and happiness into your life. 

The course helps participants integrate techniques of being in the present moment and building kindness for the challenges they face. 

Mindfulness is a powerful technique of training the mind to stay in the present and unhook from worrisome or depressive thoughts. 

Compassion is about bringing kindness to your human experience of suffering or challenges. 

All too often our minds race into the future or the past and leave us little peace in the present moment. Similarly, we live in a society that has evolved based on our capacity to judge and evaluate and create positive change. However, this judging mind can be very unhelpful and even harmful when left unchecked.

Is this course for you?

• Are you feeling anxious or stressed out?
• Are you feeling sad or in a low mood and find it difficult to shake a funk?  
• Do you find you don't seem to enjoy the things they used to enjoy
• Are you worried about a lot of different things and find the worry is hard to control?
• Are you ready and willing to learn new skills to change the way they feel?

This course will help you to:

1. Manage your mind by training it to focus on the present moment.
2. Learn to unhook from future thinking that can lead to anxiety. 
3. Learn to let go of past experiences and rumination over things you can't change.  
4. Learn to forgive or let go of past hurts. 
5. Develop compassion for yourself and others.  
6. Practice gratitude and appreciation. 
7. Help you to find more presence, happiness and joy in every day.
