MINDFULNESS? MINDFULNESS MEANS “paying 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.
“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 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.” —

(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

THE MINDFULNESS WORKS INTRODUCTION TO MINDFULNESS & MEDITATION
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
transferred to everything around. This means I am re-enjoying many
things that I had been taking for granted.” — Sandy Good FAQs Are
