Mindfulness course in Stroud: February (mornings)

Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR)
This eight-week course is designed to help you learn new ways of handling difficult physical sensations, feelings and moods.
The core skill you will learn is ‘mindfulness’ a way of paying attention, on purpose and non-judgementally, to what goes on in the present moment in your body, mind, and the world around you. Mindfulness can enable you to see things differently, undoing mental and physical knots and tensions. It can increase your sense of personal… Show more confidence, of having more options and more strength to face the different challenges in your life. Like any skill mindfulness develops with practice over time. Students are asked to commit themselves to about an hour's home practice each day for the duration of the course, with the support of handouts and CDs provided. There will of course be plenty of time during our sessions to check in on progress and fine tune your approach. The course will offer:
guided instruction in mindfulness meditation practices.
gentle stretching and mindful yoga.
group dialogue and mindful communication exercises to enhance awareness in everyday life.
individually tailored instruction.
daily home assignments.
guided meditations and handouts.
