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. "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.” —

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
transferred to everything around. This means I am re-enjoying many
things that I had been taking for granted.” — Sandy Good FAQs Are
