the past 10 years, I have been learning and<br />
Over<br />
mindfulness and yoga. I previously was quite<br />
practicing<br />
about the benefits and this was because I<br />
skeptical<br />
really understand the power of slowing down and<br />
didn’t<br />
attention. I didn’t even really know what<br />

about.<br />
google searches, I found it difficult to actually<br />
those<br />
and understand. A colleague at work was doing<br />
define<br />
thing called Mindfulness and she invited us to a<br />

she was doing with her clients. She had some<br />
session<br />
bells and she then talked us through a sitting<br />

relaxed.<br />
myself!<br />
I have grown and developed as a therapist and<br />
As<br />
teacher, I can only see the benefits of<br />
mindfulness<br />
a daily practice. I have the privilege of working<br />
having<br />
clients and seeing them change after only a<br />
with<br />
of sessions of mindfulness. Teaching mindfulness<br />
handful<br />
clients gives them a choice. A choice to try something<br />
to<br />
new, to embrace the challenges that life<br />
