MINDFULNESS IN THE WORKPLACE
Mindfulness is an approach to life that helps people relate effectively to their experiences. It involves paying attention to thoughts, feelings and body sensations in a way that can increase our awareness and help us manage difficult experiences, and create space for wise choices.
Purpose
The purpose of the Mindfulness training day is to teach simple meditation practices, which have been shown to significantly reduce stress and improve functioning in a whole range of life situations and help people to live a happier, healthier life. Research has shown that mindfulness can help you to pay attention and concentrate more easily, and recover from bad moods more quickly. People who practice mindfulness also enjoy more satisfying relationships.
Course Overview
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is a foundation course that invites participants to use simple meditation techniques and gentle movement, to notice any thoughts, emotions or sensations that arise and to learn to be more present to their experience. This introductory session is made up of a combination of mindfulness meditation, gentle movement, discussions and instruction.
Training Delivery
Clare will deliver her course in a relaxing and calm manner. She will utilise her 25 years of teaching experience to ensure the training day will be challenging, fun and exciting! Clare will use a variety of teaching and learning approaches to motivate and engage participants.
