Mindfulness@CTM
Living and Working Together Mindfully @CTM - with Awareness, Balance and Compassion.
Accessing one of our living and working mindfully sessions or courses can support you with tools, practices and information. This can help support the regulation of emotions, enhance our wellbeing and help us to become more insightful. As we become more aware of our thoughts, feelings and emotions we may find we become less overwhelmed by them and may even find it easier to accept and manage them.
All of the sessions and courses we offer are steeped in the elements of compassion. Learning and understanding the benefits that compassion practices bring, may help improve, enhance and embody self-compassion as a practice and life skill. Through compassion based meditation and using tools, techniques and resources throughout our sessions and courses, you can gain practices to support you to navigate difficult emotions, mind-states, experiences and self-talk and live a more mindful life.
Meditation is the process of getting to know yourself completely, both who you are inside and how you react to what is outside. Through meditation, you may discover a very different ‘me’ from the person who may be stressed or troubled, the person who may seem superficially to be ‘me.’ Often participants share that they experience significant improvement in their personal and relational awareness, they often experience improvement in their wellbeing having attended these sessions and courses.

A progressive course that builds on the foundations of Compassion Based Mindfulness. When we learn to pay attention to what is happening in the present moment, we can gain insight and better understand our thoughts, emotional responses and behaviours. Mindfulness is a skill and a way of being. Learning these new skills and practicing together, can help us navigate the complexities of life. We can better manage feelings of anxiety; enhance our wellbeing; explore new techniques; increase our openness; awareness and become more curious. Understanding and practicing Self-Compassion alongside Mindfulness can help us be kinder to ourselves and to be less critical when life becomes difficult, helping us to understand that we are all human. Compassion practice helps us to be ok just as we are.
