INDIVIDUALIZED MINDFULNESS MEDITATION COACHING

WHAT IS MINDFULNESS MEDITATION?
You can think of it as mind training in the context of mind/body connection, self kindness and breath awareness. Mindfulness meditation has received great consensus in integrative health care (mental and physical), and is benefiting from strong research support as effective treatment contributor to a variety of ailments, including anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and a variety of other human conditions.

WHAT CAN MINDFULNESS HELP ME WITH?
What you put your attention on, naturally grows. In the context of healing and wellness, simply learning how to redirect our attention through mindful breathing and other mind/body awareness techniques apparently holds significant, long-lasting benefits for your mental health and overall well-being. It is about taking the power back into your own hands, by using what nature already endowed you with (your mind, body, breath) as your best personal instruments to achieve serenity, calmness, wellness and self empowerment.


WHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN THIS INDIVIDUALIZED CLASS
In the best of my ability,  I will structure a program that is effective for your mind/body/personality type, and the current issues you are facing in your life, by carefully considering and evaluating each of this aspects and their contribution to your life and current situation.
In this context, you will learn the basis of breathing-based mindfulness meditation,
first, and then other mindful techniques that have been shown to help health and wellness, and become proficient enough to practice at home. In the case of anxiety and depression, where the mind is constantly projected into the future (anxiety) or mulling over the past (depression), with the unpleasant results of feeling tense and on edge, or sad, stuck and unmotivated, this practice can be of great help by helping you learn how to be in your body, rather than in your head, with presence and kindness.

CLASS OBJECTIVES
  1. Using your breath, you'll learn to accept your internal experience (meaning the ongoing flow of body sensations, feelings and thoughts) as it presents to you, and observe what happens by developing your "Observer Self"
  2. You will learn how to relate to your internal experience as to something that is part of you but is not you, something that you have, rather than you are. You will learn to sit with what is, without needing to modify, reject, avoid or somehow manipulate it.
  3. You will learn you are not the flow of experience that is constantly coming and going within you, but the much larger contextual system of body, mind.personality and spirit, within which that experiential current flows, in the context of compassionate presence in your own body/mind. 
  4. This newly gained awareness will be the basis of more effective ways to relate to what happens within you as well as around you, by taking healthy responsibility for your life and your experiences, and adopt a flexible approach to life, all of which relates to better mental health and wellness.
