Mindfulness and Compassion

Ten Thousand Flowers in Spring

​

Ten thousand flowers in spring, the moon in autumn,

a cool breeze in summer, snow in winter.

If your mind isn’t clouded by unnecessary things,

this is the best season of your life.

Mindfulness and compassion to self and others are at the heart of my therapeutic work and my life in general. I'm currently studying for a Master's in Teaching Mindfulness -Based Courses at the University of Bangor. This is the highest standard of mindfulness teacher training in the UK.​​

​​MINDFULNESS

 ​​​​​​​​​​​Tara Brach's website www.tarabrach.com contains some wonderful talks and resources on mindfulness. Her FREE online course Mindfulness Daily, created jointly with Jack Kornfield, is a good introduction to the basics of mindfulness and developing a daily practice.

SELF-COMPASSION

For some useful resources on self-compassion by Dr Kristin Neff visit www.self-compassion.org. I particularly recommend the guided practices and self-compassion exercises.
