At the first appointment the Mindfulness facilitator will do a thorough assessment and take you through a short Mindfulness practice. The facilitator and patient will decide together if Mindfulness will be helpful.
Sessions are on an individual or group basis and provide an introduction to Mindfulness. Individual appointments are usually weekly, fortnightly or monthly for 50 minutes each session over five weeks. Group sessions are held weekly and consist of eight two and a quarter hour sessions with up to eight patients.
We encourage you to practise the skills between sessions and we provide a CD/MP3/Audio Links and written materials to support you.
You will learn different meditation practices, including focusing on the breath and bringing kind awareness into the mind and body when still and with gentle movement.
