April 2020 Mindfulness Practice sessions on Zoom at 6pm on Wednesdays in April
A simple 8-week mindfulness and compassion course to give you the tools and skills to live well with your chronic pain or health condition. Chronic pain and ill-health can feel unbearable, debilitating, and unfair. Many people at the beginning of these courses say their life feels completely overshadowed by their pain and illness. Clinical trials have shown that mindfulness meditation can be as effective as prescription painkillers, and can enhance the body's natural healing systems. Mindfulness can also reduce the anxiety, depression, irritability, exhaustion, and insomnia that arises from chronic pain and illness. Mindfulness for Health is the unique meditation programme developed by Vidyamala Burch to help her cope with severe pain and health complications following two major spinal injuries. She is now living a rich and fulfilling life, with more well-being than ever. This course is a mix of mindfulness, meditation, supportive mindful movement practice, and modern pain management strategies, created and refined by mindfulness experts who've made it their life's mission to share them, having suffered themselves from chronic pain and health problems. The course has been backed with huge amounts of research, and changed the lives of thousands of people.

Everybody is very welcome to join our weekly Mindfulness meditation group practice sessions, whether you practice regularly or you're curious about Mindfulness and it's your first time. In a one hour Mindfulness practice session we generally have 2 practices, one a sitting meditation practice plus a mindful movement meditation practice, both mindfulness practices are followed by the opportunity to reflect and to share you experience. You are most welcome to come along to as many of the drop in sessions as you like. Many who have previously attended an 8 week Mindfulness course find that practicing regularly with others helps support them with their own practice and with the motivation to keep practicing. The practices are experiential in nature and a great way to try mindfulness for the first time or to revitalise your practice and intention to practice. Open Mindfulness courses and practices are secular and suitable for everyone of any faith or belief or none.
