8 Week Mindfulness Meditation Courses

Improve your Mental Health with Mindfulness Meditation

Mindfulness meditation can help you reduce your anxiety and depression and assist you in recognising your habitual thinking patters and your conditioned behaviours, in order to help you free yourself from them. In this way mindfulness meditation can increase your overall well-being.

Mindfulness practice also offers your a space to step outside your perceived hurts, aversions, fears and illusions and enables you to simply observe them, as they arise and as they leave. In this way you learn to manage your emotions.

Mindfulness is about focusing your awareness in the present moment and help you live a fuller life. Most of our time is spent in our minds, either in the past or in the future. There is no such thing as past or future. Life happens in the present moment. Think about it, when the past came it was in the present and when the future comes, it will come in the present moment. Unless we live in the present moment, we are not living life fully.

Mindfulness enables you to see things as they happen in each moment, without judgment. Mindfulness is truly an art that needs to be learned, as we are not usually taught to live mindfully in each moment. We are usually not aware of what our mind and our body is doing in each moment.

By learning mindfulness you will learn positive new skills that have a direct effect upon your daily life. Mindfulness consists both of formal (meditation) and informal practices (bringing attentive awareness into your daily life). If you would like to be fully present to your life, then mindfulness could be for you.

Discover the beauty of present moment living and enhance the quality of your life, by embarking upon a mindfulness meditation and beyond course, at Living in the Light, Little Clacton, Essex.

The courses are structured to give you an opportunity to go beyond mindfulness meditation and progressively into the deeper aspects of spirituality, which can help you transform your life.

Come and learn more about the Power of Love and feel the oneness….

Cost of Workshop £75.

A workshop participant shares her experience:

“I attended the Power of your Loving Heart workshop with Katarina some time ago now. I suppose I went along out of curiosity and because I love group meditation. I had been meditating with Katarina and others in a group for some time and felt ready to explore how much more I could truly open my heart.

The workshop was full of all sorts of people with different hopes and fears. What I most remember is how beautiful the meditations felt, yes felt. I could feel my heart opening and synching with others in the room and beyond.

I still remember to tune into my heart as often as I can in this busy and distracting world. It helps to remind me of what is real and what is in the mind.

It is a beautiful and transformative experience.”
— Sue
