Course overview
There are many misconceptions about mindfulness. It is not simply another word for meditation and although its popularity is increasing it is not a fad or a trend; after all it has been around for more than two thousand years. To live a mindful life, practitioners learn to inhabit the moment – this reduces stress and encourages an increased sense of self-awareness so that problems can be challenged and worked through in a calm way.
This foundation course will introduce you to the techniques and core principles of mindfulness. You will learn mindfulness techniques, strategies and routines that can be applied to a variety of contexts for self-development or to share with others.
