CTMindfulness is a very simple effective form of meditation. Learn body

‘Focus your full attention on your breath as it flows in and out of your body,
observe your thoughts as they arise in your mind, seemingly from thin air, and
watch again as they disappear, like a soap bubble bursting.’
Come to the profound understanding that thoughts and feelings (including
negative ones) are transient. They come and go, and ultimately, you have a
choice about whether to act on them or not.
Learn how to observe without criticism; be compassionate with yourself.
When unhappiness or stress hover overhead, learn to treat them as if they
were black clouds in the sky, and to observe them with friendly curiosity as
they drift past. In essence, mindfulness allows you to catch negative thought
patterns before they tip you into a downward spiral. It begins the process of
putting you back in control of your life. Fee: €45. Lesley MacVean
