Mindfulness. An interesting word, a simple word, a word full of possibilities, but what exactly does this mean? Does this mean that I need to have a full mind, or to clear my mind? Does it mean I need to be quiet or to be fully involved? Am I thinking too deeply into this? All of these questions are an example of how strong our minds are, how we can think at a million miles an hour and how having mindfulness can support our whole lives. We are always thinking, our minds are always active, but are we always mindful? Do our minds stray? Can we start thinking about one thing and then get caught up thinking about another thing? If we have many things to do, is it harder to start because we are thinking about too many things that we end up not completing anything? These are examples of how our minds can be so active, but not necessarily focused.

Mindfulness is often perceived in much of Western society as ‘clearing your head of all thoughts’, however, this course will enable you to see that actually the opposite is true. Mindfulness is a ‘fully-conscious’ state of being that enables us to understand our thoughts and emotions, understand where they have come from and also how we can control them so that we do not become controlled by them. We are not our thoughts!

Mindfulness involves focusing on what is happening now, in the present, instead of focusing on what has happened in the past or our future predictions. It allows us to identify with our past and recognise why we are who we are, but also not to let it define us. It allows us to look positively into the future by recognising that we only have control over the here and now.

“Every morning we are born again. What we do today is what matters most.” Buddha

There is so much advice and positivity out there in the amazing world of the internet, however, it is about finding the information and the people that write that information, that follow your beliefs. So these websites and people are who I personally turn to when I am looking for inspiration, you may like and reasonate with them, but there are many different beliefs out there so do follow your heart and head. I like the many articles/videos/websites of: Bruce Lipton, Richard Bandler, Kain Ramsey and Jon Kabat-Zinn.
