attention in a particular way; On purpose, in the present moment, and
non-judgementally.” — Jon Kabat Zinn (Professor of Medicine
Emeritus Stress Reduction Clinic and the Centre for MINDFULNESS IN
MEDICINE). Modern research about MINDFULNESS AND MEDITATION SHOWS THAT
OVER TIME AND WITH REGULAR PRACTICE, MINDFULNESS OFFERS SIGNIFICANT
BENEFITS TO PEOPLE INCLUDING LESS STRESS, less anxiety, greater focus,
calm and happiness. "NZ Mental Health Foundation mental health
promoter Grant Rix says MINDFULNESS HAS BEEN SHOWN TO BENEFIT OUR
BRAINS TO SUCH AN EXTENT THAT WE CAN FEEL CALMER, more aware, have an
increased ability to focus and concentrate, remember things better and
feel happier." — NZ Mental Health Foundation Press Release July
2012 THE BENEFITS OF MINDFULNESS AND MEDITATION WITH REGULAR
PRACTICE AND OVER TIME, MINDFULNESS AND MEDITATION CAN OFFER THE
FOLLOWING BENEFITS. Reduced stress and anxiety Improved sleeping
patterns Increased relaxation Greater self-awareness and emotional
intelligence Deeper levels of self-acceptance and self-love
“Neuroscientists have found that meditators shift their brain
activity to different areas of the cortex…This mental shift
decreases the negative effects of stress, mild depression and anxiety.
…The researchers found that the meditators showed a pronounced shift
in activity to the left frontal lobe. In other words, they were calmer
and happier than before.” — Psychology Today IMPORTANT NOTE FOR
THOSE WITH CLINICAL OR SEVERE DEPRESSION Many studies show that with
regular practice and over time (at least 8 weeks), MINDFULNESS CAN
REDUCE STRESS AND ANXIETY. However if you have severe or clinical
depression, it is important that you receive specialist medical
advice. For more information and support on depression and to get

COURSE FACILITATOR IS LYNDI SMITH Lyndi is a MINDFULNESS EDUCATOR
WITH INTERNATIONAL CHARITY Mind With Heart and a qualified
MINDFULNESS MEDITATION TEACHER (BSY). She has been training in
traditional MINDFULNESS AND COMPASSION-based practices for nine years
and is very grateful for the impact they have on her life. Lyndi has a
daily MINDFULNESS PRACTICE AND TAKES PART IN AT LEAST ONE INTENSIVE
RETREAT EVERY YEAR. She teaches MINDFULNESS AND COMPASSION IN BRISBANE
AND ALSO VOLUNTEERS AS AN INSTRUCTOR FOR THE MEDITATION
ORGANISATION Rigpa. Initially she trained as an actor, and spent
twenty years working with groups to create not just performances, but
open, friendly and kind ensembles. Lyndi enjoys spending time in
nature and loves a simple life… the breeze blowing… the soft
earth… the warmth of the sunshine… the leaves rustling… Her
daily practice brings moments of insight, ease and awareness into her
working life – even at the computer! She enjoys giggling and notes
that a sense of humour can sometimes offer a new perspective on her
situation. However, life is not all fun and games. MINDFULNESS CAN
HELP US TO TURN TOWARDS, rather than away from life’s challenges.
Lyndi feels her practice has helped her become more emotionally
resilient and more aware of her habits and as a result, she spends
less time lost in worries or ruminating. She hopes that learning
MINDFULNESS WILL BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO FIND MOMENTS OF CALM, joy
and relief from the busy-ness of everyday life, and is looking forward
to exploring how MINDFULNESS WORKS, for you. QUESTIONS OR MORE

COURSE:“Thank goodness I came across Mindfulness Works. I have
learnt so much in a year and am the happiest, authentic and most
content that I have ever been. By learning acceptance without
judgement has been an eye opener for me. I’m continuing my journey
of self-compassion and feel excited and hopeful for my future. But am
grateful of the now and who I am today…” – Rebecca Young “The
course was very relaxed and friendly, and full of useful practical
advice that recognised the limits to time that everyone faces. Also I
liked the mix of people attending, with a range of different reasons
for being there.” — Rosie Cree “Since doing this course, I
have been sleeping much better, I feel much more in control of my
emotions, I have enjoyed ‘noticing’ my own state, but also it has
