Mindfulness classes: Pathway to the Present Moment

Pathway to the Present Moment

An experienced mindfulness practitioner, Sheree offers mindfulness classes in the tradition of Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy, a method for self study and healing that has been a leader in mindfulness tuition for thirty years.

Why the emphasis on mindfulness

Mindfulness learned and applied according to Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy, allows us to access the wisdom of our body-mind where it can be studied and worked with.

We do this by inviting attention to the present moment and studying what may be happening there - self study.

To be able to study our present moment experience in this way, we require a capacity to bring mindful awareness to the moment.

Without this capacity, we're unable to study what's happening for us, or to understand why that may be.

How does this work?

Mindfulness can be practised in many ways, and there are many types of activity that can be considered mindful.

However in Hakomi, first we learn the art of mindfulness, and then we learn how to apply the art to whatever is happening now, in this moment. 

Mindfulness, as it is used in Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy, is a tool that can be learned and then applied specifically to aspects of your experience, as it presents in the moment

What exactly 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. 

That's where Hakomi and its use of Mindfulness as a tool comes in - the method uses applied mindfulness to assist with what you're noticing now, where it can be studied and worked with.
