The one to one course is designed for 2 hour sessions over 5 consecutive weeks around agreed dates and times that are agreed.

It is not mandatory to attend any mindfulness session beforehand or indeed have any experience of Mindfulness at all, but if you would like to experience and learn more about Mindfulness, The Mindfulness Mind offers a free 2-hour introductory session to get a taste of what you might experience and how you might benefit from taking the intense course. Book your taster session.

The one to one course is bespoke, to your needs and therefore to fully benefit from the one to one sessions, it is highly recommended you attend them and also carry out home practice between sessions, to fully develop and weave mindfulness into your daily life.

This introductory session is free and is designed for you to learn more about Mindfulness, gain some insight into the course content and how you might benefit from the course. You will also experience guided meditations and practicing mindfulness and to ascertain if you feel the course is right for you at this time in your life. 

For those taking the 8 week course it is mandatory session, to ensure that you come to the core course knowing all of the above and so all participants have received the same information when they start the course, but for those on the 2 day intensive course this is not mandatory. Try it, book now nothing to lose!

The course is designed around your needs and will provide you with hints and tips of how to weave Mindfulness into your daily life through discussion, talks, guided practices in the form of exercises and meditation and hints and tips, so you can become calmer, handle the challenges of life in a more constructive way, as well as having a deeper insight into your own wellbeing and what your body and mind needs. The ‘ground’ rules of safety and confidentiality are paramount to the success of your course.

You will have time to ask questions and share your experiences in a confidential and safe space with the teacher, but the key is to fully immerse yourself in a relaxing two hour session as part of the 5 week course, where you will learn more about Mindfulness and what your mind and body needs to be a calmer person and helps you to constructively handle life’s challenges and any suffering you have to support your wellbeing. Whilst there is an element of teaching, the aim is to coach you to learn about Mindfulness through  acceptance, self-compassion and curiosity.  Book a call to discuss your needs

The one-to-one course is intensive, by the nature of the course, however, as it is bespoke, the pace of it will be around your needs and how you respond to Mindfulness. The theme is to coach you into understanding how Mindfulness could support you with specific suffering or challenges.  No prior knowledge in Mindfulness is needed, just an open mind and a willingness to want to change the way you currently live your life. Mindfulness practice is encouraged between sessions and will deepen your understanding of yourself and in a short space of time, you usually start to see the benefits, which not just positively impact you, but those who you come into contact with.

However, what it is not, is a cure to challenges and suffering you may be experiencing. Mindfulness is designed to help you create more self-compassion, a better understand of how you can overcome challenges, when normally you might be overwhelmed. The challenges may still exist post course, as might the suffering e.g. pain emotional or physical, anxiety etc, but it is how you manage that suffering is the benefit for taking the course.

So, some of the benefits of this course could be if you can feel anxious at times, have trouble sleeping and unable to relax, overwhelmed with the challenges you face and overall want to lead a calmer, happier life, then this course will certainly help you. You will be taught how to meditate using different meditations according to need, be given hints and tips of how you can embrace mindfulness into your life with practice and acceptance.

Mindfulness in whatever form of teaching or guiding will provide you with tools and techniques to develop understanding of how you can work with your mind and body to feel less anxious, overwhelmed and to avoid ruminating as examples of commons issues people are faced with.

However, Mindfulness on its own is not a cure to those with severe mental health issues and therefore you are welcome to speak to your general practitioner should you want any reassurances.
