Mindfulness classes: Pathway to the Present Moment

Being more of who we are
 

Mindfulness Tuition

Sheree offers mindfulness tuition to individuals and groups, online and in-person.   Sheree is a skilled mindfulness practitioner and offers classes and tuition that are aligned with matauranga maori, and include an attachment and trauma-informed perspective.  Classes are held within the Hakomi principles of Mindfulness, Non-Violence, Mind-Body Holism, Unity and Organicity.

Why the emphasis on mindfulness

Sheree believes in each person's innate capacity to heal.  To access this capacity requires mindfulness.  To be mindful means we are paying attention to what is happening for us, now, and without judgement.  We are slowing down and gently turning attention inwards.

Through gentle curiosity and present-moment experience, new possibilities for connection and healing can emerge. 

How does this work?

We cant change what we aren't aware of doing. 

Mindful awareness helps us notice what is happening, now.  We slow down, and we observe this - we observe ourselves in the experience, as it presents itself, right now. This is called self-study in Hakomi. 

As we become familiar with this process, we can expand our awareness to begin to notice the unconscious patterns that shape how we relate to ourselves, others and the world. 

We are cultivating a capacity to pay attention to ourselves, in the moment, and without judgement, so that we may begin to understand what it is that we are doing. 

What is Mindfulness

Mindfulness is basically paying attention to what's happening now, on purpose and without judging it.  Its a simple process, but not always easy. 

It is a particular state of awareness that can be cultivated and over time, used to help with stress, focus, self-regulation and self-awareness.

You can be mindful while stressed, sad, bored or distracted, or even when you're angry and upset - the mindfulness is just noticing that and observing what it is you're experiencing.
