Mindfulness classes: Pathway to the Present Moment

Being more of who we are
 

Pathway to the Present Moment

An experienced mindfulness practitioner for 25 years, Sheree offers Pathway to the Present Moment, a range of mindfulness classes designed with a specific focus

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.

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, learning how to invite mindful awareness to the moment requires skill and the development of a particular part of the brain.

Learning mindfulness is the beginning of that process, developing that capacity requires time and practice - research shows that after eight weeks of regular, daily mindfulness practice, changes can be observed in the brain.

 

What exactly is mindfulness?

Mindfulness is a capacity to invite attention to the present moment and is a skill that can be learned and developed throughout life.

It is a particular state of awareness that can be cultivated and used to enhance awareness and wellbeing. 

Sheree has been practicing mindfulness for twenty five years and has experienced how this process works.

MRI imaging shows changes occurring in the brain after 8 weeks of regular, daily mindfulness practice.

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
