FREE taster session this week, Thursday 10th April, 630-8.
Long term stress is damaging to your health. Ongoing high levels of cortisol and other stress hormones destroy healthy muscles, bones, and cells, suppresses the immune system, impairs digestion, and weakens the endocrine system. Sleep problems, chronic head and back aches, general muscular tension, high blood pressure and other cardiac issues are also common.
Often we don’t even realise how stressed we actually are. Our coping mechanisms (alcohol and drugs, shopping, denial, food, workaholism, computer games etc) appear to cover over the symptoms but do not solve the actual problem. The negative effects of stress continue damaging our mental and physical health.
Mindfulness meditation has a profound effect on our wellbeing, including changing our relationship to stress. It provides us with a toolkit for deep relaxation, and enables us to perceive clearly how we react to stressors in our lives.
Mindfulness builds resilience and inner calm. Take this opportunity for a deep dive into mindfulness with either a 3 week or 8 week course.
