Mindfulness

00:00 / 03:47

I can help you heal your body and mind through mindful meditation and embodied movement in Warwick and online.

 

Whether you are looking to reduce stress and anxiety or to heal from past trauma, the practices I teach can help you. I draw from traditional meditation practices such as Buddhist meditation, Qi Gong, yoga and energy healing. Combining these with modern mindfulness and modern research in nervous system regulation from Stephen Porges, Deb Dana, Peter Levine, David Treleaven, Bessel Van Der Kolk, Kristen Neff, Byron Katie, Gabor Mate and more. The result is an adaptable practice of embodiment and mindfulness where you can learn to ground your body, manage your stress, heal yourself and improve your physical/emotional health. 

Mindfulness and Meditation are different yet complimentary practices to:

  • Reduce Stress: Meditation helps to lower cortisol levels, the hormone associated with stress, leading to a calmer mind and body.

  • Improve Concentration: Regular meditation practice enhances your focus and attention span, making it easier to stay on task.

  • Promote Emotional Health: Meditation fosters emotional well-being by reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression and promoting a positive state of mind.

  • Enhance Self-Awareness: Meditation encourages deeper self-reflection and understanding, helping you to recognize and address your thought patterns and behaviour.

  • Boost Creativity: Being in a meditative state can unlock your creative potential, allowing for new ideas and solutions to emerge.

  • Improve Sleep: By calming the mind and reducing stress, meditation can lead to better sleep quality and more restful nights.

  • Increase Compassion: Meditation, especially loving-kindness or compassion-focused practices, enhances your empathy and connection to others.

  • Support Physical Health: Regular meditation can lower blood pressure, boost the immune system, and reduce symptoms of chronic pain.

 


Mindfulness is cultivated through regular meditation and following specific practices.

Meditation is a concentration practice where we really tune into the inner state of our mind.  By cultivating this inner awareness we can break our habitual patterns, heal our past traumas and learn a new way of being. I have trained with Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield in the insight meditation tradition which brings the traditional Eastern traditions of Buddhism to a Western world. As a graduate of the 2 year Mindfulness and Meditation Teacher Training (MMTCP) I have studied intensively in all aspects of meditation including breath, body, forgiveness and conflict, loving kindness, trauma, pain, emotions, equanimity, standing, walking and embodied movement, gratitude, grief and loss, desire and addiction, compassion. I can help to guide you through the difficult circumstances in your life with kindness and compassion and to tap into your inner wisdom. This is a journey of self enquiry and self care.


Most people spend their lives in an auto-pilot state, going through the motions of what we are doing, thinking about the future, dwelling on the past, lost in thoughts, living by other peoples rules and not being authentically ourselves. Mindfulness helps us to be fully present, helps us to notice when our thoughts are hijacking our experience. We can become our true selves by listening to the innate wisdom of our body and the deepest wisdom in our minds.

“Thank you so much for the meditation class. My experience of the session towards the end was that it released a gentle deep sadness for myself about losses suffered”

Claire

I loved the first mindfulness session, thank you! I've had several false starts with mindfulness, so I'm familiar with the basics but I've never heard the concepts explained so clearly and simply before. Was a great mix of practice and learning, with relatable examples.  Really looking forward to next week now and have recommended to busy friends as a great investment. 

Sue

“That was wonderful. As an emotional person who is quick to react I never realised I could have more space between something that happens and my response to it. Very eye opening, looking forward to next week!”
