MINDFULNESS, BREATH and the NERVOUS SYSTEM

• Understand the effects of trauma on your nervous system and how to create safety and support for yourself

• Understand the habit patterns of mind that undermine joy and presence

• Respond rather than react to triggers

• Enjoy more relaxed sleep

• Put down habits of chronic busy-ness and overthinking

• Renew or start a regular formal mindfulness practice, supported by others

• Make a commitment to your own mental, physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing.

Please contact Rachel if you are interested.

benefits

• Understanding of the law of mirrors and how to take more self-responsibility for yourself

PLEASE NOTE: This  series of evenings will help you understand and track your own nervous system, and undoubtedly to live a more easeful life, informed by more awareness of the present moment . However, for this to happen, you will need to commit to doing the practices suggested in the days between sessions.

There is no religion or dogma associated with these sessions. Emphasis is placed more on experience than theory.

The course will pre-suppose a commitment for daily practice during the 8-week course.

people say

“I didn’t realise mindfulness had such a focus on compassion towards yourself and a sense of OK-ness, i have found this so helpful as i’m such a perfectionist and an over thinker.”

“I was really impressed by the facilitator. Her delivery style was one of comfortable ease. She was honest, open, thought provoking, engaging and humble. I really enjoyed this learning environment.”

“I always thought mindfulness was about thinking of nothing at all, so to learn that a big part of it is actually recognising when your mind has wandered off, and practising compassionately coming back to the main focus, has been great. Its been so great to practice not being so hard on myself!”

“I found Rachel super helpful and knowledgeable, I love how she taught different techniques for different people as we were all having different experiences.”

“I had no idea what to expect coming into this course, and I could go on and on about how interesting and beneficial this course was for me!”

“I got way more out of it than I thought I would! I really enjoyed its focus on being in the present moment, being a “human being” not just a “human doing!”
