Mindfulness & Insight Meditation
Workshops: Pathway to Presence
The Practice of Present Moment Reality
The most important thing in life is being in present moment reality. Mindfulness meditation offers us a powerful practice and pathway for slowing down, reducing stress and reactivity, and gaining a deeper sense of inner peace, clarity, and interconnection.
This practice is about training your attention to live more fully embodied in the present moment, helping you navigate life with greater ease, resilience, and wise action. Meditation helps you forge a deeper connection with yourself, community, and nature.
Rooted in ancient contemplative and wisdom traditions, particularly Insight Meditation (Vipassanā), and supported by modern neuroscience, this is a simple yet profound technique for cultivating a more spacious, harmonious, and aware relationship with the inner and outer world.
Anchoring Awareness with Insight
Mindfulness meditation is the practice of systematically observing your thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and environment in present-moment awareness. Drawing from the practice of Insight Meditation, we focus on noticing and naming experience as it arises and passes away, without judgment or entanglement.
In our sessions, you will learn practical skills and a systematic practice to:
-
Anchor Yourself: Use the breath and body sensations as a stable anchor in the present moment.
-
Observe Phenomena: Train the mind to observe the flow of sensory experience (seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, touching) and mental phenomena (thoughts, emotions).
-
Release Reactivity: Break free from unhelpful thought patterns and allow consciousness to flow freely through your body-mind, seeing things as they truly are.
I invite you to not only take my word (and the scientific evidence) for it but to learn and practice it for yourself.
The Benefits of Mindful Living
Mindfulness meditation has been scientifically shown to provide a wide range of benefits for your well-being. By engaging in a consistent practice, you can expect to:
-
Reduce Stress & Anxiety: Learn to respond to difficult situations with greater calm and composure.
-
Enhance Focus & Clarity: Improve your concentration and decision-making abilities.
-
Cultivate Emotional Resilience: Develop the ability to navigate all your emotions without being overwhelmed.
-
Improve Overall Wellbeing: Foster a deeper sense of calm, balance, purpose, creativity, and inner vitality.
The Mindful Mindsets: Attitudes of Practice
Discover the nine Mindful Mindsets, developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn, that form the foundational attitudes for an effective mindfulness meditation practice. Cultivating these attitudes is key to Insight. These mindsets can be cultivated in your formal meditations but also informally in day-to-day life. Read more about the mindful mindsets in The Coaching Blog.
Mindfulness and Compassion
I have written extensively on the subject of mindfulness and compassion to help our community of meditators understand the benefits and how to navigate the practices. From mindful leadership, to overthinking, neuroscience, and creative flow, discover more on The Coaching Blog topic Mindfulness and Compassion to support your wellbeing and growth.
