WORKS INTRODUCTORY COURSE ACROSS AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND. WHAT IS
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 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

came to MEDITATION AND MINDFULNESS IN 1994 WHEN GOING THROUGH A VERY
DIFFICULT TIME IN HER LIFE. She began studying and practising
MINDFULNESS, MEDITATION AND YOGA. These practices had such a profound
and extraordinary impact in her life that she wanted to share these
skills with others. So 10 years ago, Karen studied to become a
MEDITATION AND YOGA TEACHER AND CURRENTLY RUNS A SUCCESSFUL YOGA AND
MEDITATION BUSINESS. Karen’s background in science (Registered
Nurse) led her to explore and look for evidence-based MINDFULNESS
PRACTICE. She began studying Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) with
Dr Russ Harris (author of The Happiness Trap), the basis of which is
MINDFULNESS PRACTICE. She was looking for a way to make these valuable
skills accessible to everyone without having to be traditionally
interested in spirituality; bridging the gap between science and
spirituality. Karen also works in the corporate world, training health
professionals to become coaches. She is able to deliver a perfect
balance to this world using MINDFULNESS PRACTICES and combines a
wealth of training delivery experience into high-performance group
facilitation. Karen keenly continues her own personal journey and is
currently studying with Dr Joe Dispenza (author of Evolve Your Brain:
The Science of Changing Your Mind) who uses the latest findings from
the fields of neuroscience and quantum physics to not only heal
illness but also to enjoy a more fulfilled and happy life through
MEDITATION KAREN HAS A GREAT LOVE FOR LEARNING, applying and teaching
and is very excited about sharing these skills with you. QUESTIONS OR

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

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
