'Summertime, It was a song, it was a season, I wonder if that season would ever live inside of me' - BA Saenz
As this summer of summers wains, I am delighted to tell all our FB friends that we will be starting our new Autumn MBSR programme at the River Lodge Health and Fitness Centre on Sept. 27th
Mindfulness can radically transform your life for the better...but only if you practice it! Mindfulness of the body can heal, Mindfulness of emotion can bring ease, Mindfulness of thought can lead to freedom and Mindfulness of relationships and community can blossom into understanding and love.
The attitude with which you undertake the practice of paying attention and being in the present moment is crucial. It is the soil in which you will be cultivating your ability to calm your mind and to relax your body, to concentrate and see more clearly - Jon Kabat Zinn

In this fast paced, hyperconnected world where multi-tasking is the norm, taking a pause and training your attention is a radical act.

Mindfulness meditation is a powerful tool that can help us upgrade our inner technology – the mind, to keep up with demands of our increasingly complex world.

Just like our bodies, our minds need training to function at their best. Mindfulness meditation is a form of mental training that supports the mind to be more focussed, clear and effective. It’s often described as the practice of bringing your full attention, in an open, non-judgmental way to the present moment.

Mindfulness is sweeping across the globe and training has now been implemented in many different sectors including in schools, hospitals, corporations, and government.

There is now compelling evidence supporting the fact that mindfulness meditation when practised regularly, can lead to:
> Structural changes in the brain associated with enhanced mental performance
> Reduced stress and it’s negative impact on the body and mind
> Improved physical and mental well being
> Reduced genetic ageing through it’s protective impact on gene expression and degeneration
> Increased happiness.
> Enhanced immune function

There’s only one way to experience the benefits of meditation, give it a go! What have you got to lose?

"Awaken your spirit to adventure;
Hold nothing back, learn to find ease in risk;
Soon you will be home in a new rhythm
For your soul senses the world that awaits you.'...J.O.D.
