Mindset And Mindfulness Programmes Auckland
Mindfulness Programme
Mindfulness is a buzz word these days, and rightly so. It was made popular by Jon Kabat-Zinn who worked with chronic pain patients who could not be helped by western medicine anymore. Through the practice of mindfulness, these patients learned to re-gain quality of life. The western world has embraced ancient wisdom that tells us the development of awareness for the present moment creates calmness and clarity to be prepared for life, and enjoy life as it comes.
Pillars of mindfulness are acceptance, beginner’s mind, non-judgement, patience, trust, non-permanence and letting go.
Mindfulness is not a theoretical concept; it is a system to be experienced and practiced. Mindfulness is the awareness that arises from paying attention in the present moment of thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations and surrounding environment; through a gentle, nurturing lens without judgement. The opposite of being mindful is being on autopilot, where unnoticed habits, procrastination and thought patterns influence one’s level of vitality.
Mel has created a Mindfulness Programme for Beginners and those who want to put Mindfulness into practice. Bi-weekly one-on-one Mindfulness Coaching sessions plus an inspiring practicing program will enable you to experience how Mindfulness can balance your life.
Find your Mindful Moment
“... in case you don’t feel like practicing anything formally at this moment - may I invite you to watch the sun going down in Palm Beach to find your Mindful Moment.
Just watching the sun going down unspectacularly and listening to mundane sounds of a beach environment. Nothing in this video is so important that it could not be missed. It just is a moment. I am inviting you to be aware of a simple moment - giving your nervous system the space it needs to detect calm and non-urgency.
Simply be in the moment. You are worth it. ” With kindness Mel
