Wishing you all a very happy New Year! ✨

As it's a wonderful time for us to consider what nourishing things we can add into our lives for this year ahead, I am so looking forward to starting the year with new group mindfulness classes at the wonderful Vimi Eco Store in Radlett.

🙏Join us every Tuesday through January.
5:15pm.

All are welcome whether you are new or have experience with meditation.

Every class will explore a different practice and will be a chance for relaxation, to connect with yourself and others, and pick up some new tools to replenish and support your wellbeing.

Every Tuesday in January,2023 enjoy an evening of stillness, pick up new tools and connect with others in these group guided meditation classes. Expect to be introduced to simple techniques that allow you to expand your self awareness, remove built up stress in the system and establish a deep state....

Hi friends, I’ve been taking some time off being online but checking in on (although hoping we all feel able to check in with our mental health on most days if not every day 🤍)

Mental health is not a given. It is something we must tend to, nurture and hold sacred ✨

So often we can feel guilty or selfish for really resting but it’s the most important thing we can do for ourselves and others. Post from Nicola Jane Hobbs

Want to start or get better at sticking with meditation?

Did you know you are 90% more likely to commit to something if doing it with others? 🤯

▪️“I find it so much easier to meditate live with a teacher or in a group. When i'm at home i'm just so distracted”▪️I hear this all the time!

If you’ve ever worked 1:1 or tried a group class vs using an app to get started with a new habit then I know you’ll relate!

As we start to establish a habit I believe the support of a teacher and a group can help to
✨make us feel safe enough to let go just that little bit more,
✨ and judge ourselves and our experience that little bit less.

You also get to learn more about the practice and ask as many questions as you like which is key to longevity of this new habit.

If you’re local and want to join a lovely group, my next mindfulness workshop is a wonderful chance to connect, learn and share (and relax) ✨

〰️Join me next week - 29th September - 6:15pm -

Our reality in the present is much less scary than our thoughts about the past or the future 🧠✨

The present moment is always waiting for you.

More often than not people come to me after a life change that has affected how they function day to day.

After I lost my Dad at 19, grief and panic attacks were what led me to take part in a mindfulness-based cognitive therapy course, and it still remains to this day one of the best things I ever did.

It forever changed how I approach everything in life and I’m truly so lucky to be able to share it with others for the past 4 years.

I am always conscious that 8 sessions can feel like a commitment, but the 8-week MBCT course arms you with tools to use way beyond the course to support you in healing and preventing overwhelm from things to come throughout our lives.

If you’re struggling with the below or the effects of change at the moment and need some support please do get in touch for a free chat 💛

👉✨However if you feel ready to join the course (you can read more about the course through my website www.everycloudmindfulness.co.uk ) there is still time to book your spot for the next group starting next Wednesday 14th September, 7-9pm

So much of what we perceive to be our struggle against life is actually our struggle against ourselves.

In life we will all experience two types of suffering.

1️⃣The first is primary pain that is inevitable for all humans: job loss, heartbreak, grief, illness.

2️⃣Secondary pain is the thoughts, emotions and behaviours that occur on top and in response to the primary pain.: ‘Why me?’, ‘I should do better’, Avoidance, anger etc.

Often it can feel like we should punish ourselves with self-criticism or desperately try to think our way out of pain as if that is the only option or what we deserve.

But there’s a big difference about ruminating about your pain and being present with your pain, with compassion. Discovering these other options is pretty life changing.

If we can allow suffering to just be as it is without added criticism and pressure that we should feel different, we can make great progress to experiencing more balance, calm and joy.

✨In week 4 of the 8-week MBCT course, in a safe and supportive group we explore these 2 layers of suffering and practice techniques that allow us to meet ourselves where we are and invite in compassion over criticism. (💡A great example of what the combination of Mindfulness and CBT looks like)

✨The 8-week course is designed to rewire your mind so you finish the program feeling and behaving differently, and armed with life-long sustainable tools for healing and wellbeing.

You can sign up to the next course starting in RADLETT on SEPTEMBER 14TH. Wednesday’s 7-9pm with a lovely small group.

Want to have a chat first? Book in a short call with me (no strings attached) so I can answer any questions and talk you through what to expect.

The body scan meditation teaches us so much because it allows us to see the nature of our active, self-critical and analytical minds and practice letting go.

It’s also a really great way to become more attuned to the way you hold stress and emotions in your body, ground yourself, or just to simply take a break. (Many use it to drift off into sleep too!) 💤

Our body knows we’re stressed before the mind registers and makes note of it.

👀Lingering headaches and fog, tension, back pain, stomach ache, physical exhaustion..
Can you resonate with any of these?

And while our first reaction is to either push through, dismiss or quickly treat the symptom, we can practice a new approach of learning to view this as your body calling your attention and communicating that things are off, and offers a chance to look after ourselves in the best possible way, with intention.

This means no longer exhausting ourselves by constantly managing, pushing away and trying to fix by putting a plaster over it.

We practice the body scan in week 1 of the 8 week course.
(spots open for the next course starting 14th September!)

💭Have you tried a Body Scan Meditation?

What does Mindfulness practice with a trusted teacher actually involve?

I’m sure you’ve all heard what mindfulness can do for us: reduce stress, increase happiness etc..

Everyones practice will be unique, but in a 1:1 or group course setting, these 10 points cover the core themes that are explored and cultivated over time to support you in the best way possible.

What points would you benefit from? 💭

👋 I thought I would re-introduce myself on this page as there’s a few new faces around here!

My name is Jessica, I am a Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapist (MBCT) and meditation teacher with 4 years of experience, and I truly love the work I do.

I started practicing mindfulness aged 20 after searching for tools to manage anxiety and grief, and left my job in fashion styling to begin my teacher training 5 years later.

📍I am based in Radlett, Hertfordshire and have a studio for 1:1 sessions and group courses, but you can also work with me online.

You can also find me running local classes in Friends of Bushey Rose Garden every Thursday at 6pm for the summer!

Here’s what else is coming up✨:
•8-week MBCT group course begins 14th September - Face-Face in Radlett
(online option available)

Please get in touch if you would like more information from me or wish to book on.

🌤The name Every Cloud Mindfulness came from my love of the quote ‘Your mind is like the sky, everything else is just the weather’ which I first heard through participating in an 8-week course.

As the course went on and my practice developed, I found so much relief in starting to relate to my thoughts as coming and going, just like the clouds in the sky.

I know that when it comes to mental health and general wellness it is not one size fits all.

Ultimately, inviting mindfulness into your life can take a little bit of commitment, but I pride myself in supporting you in a way that ensures the tools you take away with you have a high return on investment.

💛Lastly, Thank you for being here and for all the support, even from a simple post like to taking part in classes.

If you have any questions or want to book in a free call, I would love to hear from you!

Have a lovely Sunday 🌞
