Course overview
Course description
This Mindfulness and meditation course will support you to learn how to relax into the present moment, helping you to slow down and relieve stress. It is very important to recognise that we can only be in the present moment by learning to relax into it. Mindfulness helps us to cope better with the demands of life and difficult emotions, as we learn to slow down and be present. This course will guide you through a series of practices that aim to ease both mind and body: breath awareness practices, gentle body awareness practices, mindful movement, mindfulness meditation and Yoga Nidra to encourage deep rest and quality sleep. This course will encourage you to practice independently, you will be supported to do this by having access to practice recordings in Canvas. Regular mindfulness practice can help you to ease symptoms of stress. This evening practice will support you to learn how to wind down to promote a good night’s sleep. This course is no replacement for medical advice and support that some people need when experiencing sleep difficulties. This course will provide you with valuable tools to support yourself to slow down and give yourself permission to rest. You may choose to progress to the next course Meditation and Mindfulness to support seasonal adjustment.
