If you’ve ever attempted mindfulness, and found that your mind is too crowded with thoughts, you might have believed that the practice isn’t for you, or that it doesn’t work. In fact, mindfulness is a skill that takes time to master, and only by showing up and being present in your body can help you find a way to work skillfully with difficult thoughts and emotions so that they don’t overwhelm you.
In this masterclass with Diana Winston, the director of mindfulness education at UCLA’s Mindful Awareness Research Center, you will learn the benefits of paying attention to the present moment. Diana will also demonstrate the practical and scientifically-proven techniques for reducing stress, boosting your immune system, improving your ability to stay focused, reduce your emotional reactivity, and promote a general sense of wellbeing.
This workshop for people who are new to mindfulness, or for those who have attempted it but aren’t yet convinced that it works, will equip you with the tools to continue practicing mindfulness, to be a more empowered, more compassionate self manager.
You will be sent a link to the webinar 2hrs before the start time of 6pm (BST).
