I used to love running my one to one 10 week Mindful Way courses with clients. The real beauty of the course is that each client is given the gift of self knowledge and understanding – each session helps clients unravel the layers of stress and critical self talk and opens up a whole new world of being that is a lot more playful and expansive. I first started meditating at the age of 8 when my mum gave me her personal mantra she learned from a very prominent Guru; I then practiced regularly and went on to train in Plum Village, the Buddhist Monastery, and bring some of those teachings and the practical curriculum applications of Mindfulness in Schools Project, Connected Kids and Mind Up into Primary and Secondary classrooms. The tools I learned helped me through some critical periods in my life and are literally life changing. I think, as we move towards 2026, it is time to revisit these teachings again but also bring in the tools of self hypnosis and psycho sensory techniques to ensure that each person gets to experience a real sense of agency – Instead of self improvement (which implies you aren’t good enough) – think self understanding – wisdom – growth – volition. I will run these courses individually on a one to one basis for clients on line who prefer that method – but also in small groups meeting once a week – What you will learn:
Week 1 – How to get out of Autopilot and start Living Again
Week 2 – Body Scan – the difference between the thinking mind and sensing mind
Week 3 – Mindful Movement – combined with psycho sensory techniques for Relaxation
Week 4 – Sounds and Thoughts – the critical – judging mind – self hypnosis
Week 5 – Exploring Difficulty – including self hypnosis to focus on what you want
Week 6 – Cultivating self compassion –
Week 7 – Guided Visualisation
Week 8 – Habit Reversals for mood enhancement
Week 9 – The Tools to create Expansive Thinking
Week 10 – Freeing Yourself from Pain and Living in the Present – weaving it all together I will be running this online and in person in small groups of 10-12.
