In this dynamic 90-minute session we’ll embark on a journey into the life-changing practices of mindfulness and meditation. Through thought provoking teaching and interactive exercises, your experience with me will begin to chart a way forward into a phase of transformation and realization. Mindfulness and meditation are closely connected, often overlapping, yet they serve distinct purposes within the broader practice of mental and emotional well-being.

Mindfulness: Mindfulness is the practice of paying attention to the present moment without judgment. It involves being fully aware of what’s happening around you and within you - your thoughts, emotions, sensations - without getting caught up in them. The goal is to cultivate a sense of awareness that carries into everyday life, helping you respond to situations more thoughtfully rather than reacting impulsively.

Meditation: Meditation is a broader practice that typically involves dedicating time to focus and calm the mind. There are various forms of meditation, and mindfulness meditation is one of them. In mindfulness meditation, the focus is often on the breath or bodily sensations, allowing you to observe your thoughts and feelings without attachment.
