Mindfulness mediation is a way of maintaining a happier life within a busy, often stressful life.

If you are new to meditation then I invite you join my four-week programme that will begin in June 2024 in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

As a young women I had never heard of meditation nor meet anyone who meditated. It was in 2002, at the age of 25, that I had my first experience of yogic meditation at the end of a practice in Byron Bay, Australia. I was amazed at how relaxed I felt and yet how slightly awkward it was to close my eyes and do nothing!- I fidgeted and wondered was I doing it right?

In a world where being ‘busy’ is the norm and often a good thing to tell our friends and colleagues, we forget that our life hinges on our health and wellbeing.

As society speeds up, our genetic make-up is still pulling the cart and requires time to recharge from the daily bumps in the road.

What is Mindfulness?

Mindfulness is the awareness that arises when we pay attention moment to moment - accepting what comes along just as it is. This paying attention or acknowledging is with out judgement, and allows us to recognise how we may react normally and how that feels within our body.

Complicated I hear you say. Interestingly, it becomes easier with each meditation, and as we soften to this idea of acceptance, real insight is possible.
