The Mini Mindfulness Meditation Course

An online workshop starting:

25th September from 6pm to 7pm

The Mini Mindfulness Meditation course explores how mindfulness can support you with both your physical and mental health.

Join me, Kirsty, an aromatherapist and meditation facilitator, having qualified to facilitate these wonderful sessions with Breathworks. The course will run for 6 consecutive weeks, beginning on Wednesday 25th September 2024 from 6pm to 7pm.

Vidyamala Birch the founder of Breathworks, describes Mindfulness as:
"Living in the moment, noticing what is happening and making choices in how you respond to your experience rather than being driven by habitual reactions."

Throughout, each one-hour session you will receive:

• A Mindfulness Practice
We will begin the session by taking part in a meditation. Each meditation will link in with the key theme for the session.

• A Key Theme
During each key theme we will discuss a variety of subjects from primary and secondary experiences to mindful movement or negativity bias. All will be revealed…
• Mindfulness in Action
For each session we will explore mindfulness in action, in which you will take away several mindful experiences to try throughout the week. It can be a wonderful experience
• Nature and Aromatherapy
I am a big believer in the power of nature and each of the 6 sessions will be entwined.

You will receive a mini aromatherapy gift box with 6 mini essential oils to be used during each session.

At the end of this 6-week course you will have a basic knowledge in the skills of mindfulness meditation, and know how mindfulness can support you and your well-being.
