Introductory Session for workplace Mindfulness

This session offers an introduction to the theory, science and experience of mindfulness. Starting with an over view of recent research into mindfulness and its effects on the brain there is then a guided meditation with time to discuss the experience in pairs afterwards. The session concludes with an opportunity to ask questions.
.
Ideal as an introduction for people who are new to mindfulness or who may fear that they are not able to meditate due to having a busy mind. The session makes clear that thinking is part of our experience and as we meditate we are not trying to make the mind silent or stop thoughts, but shift into a different relationship to them, where we no longer feel overwhelmed by our thoughts or worries but can take a step back and watch them as they pass by, bringing compassion if needed or a calm observing.
