Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Program

Come and indulge your senses and join us this Friday for some mindfulness practice. Sessions will be starting again this Friday in the Bushey Rose Garden and continuing until the end of September. All levels are welcome.

Such an inspiring few days at this year’s Register of Chinese herbal medicine and British Acupuncture council conference. Listening to talks on the treatment of menopause, infertility, children, pulse diagnosis, catching up with friends, practicing Tai Chi ……Working as an individial practitioner can be isolating at times and I find it really heart-warming to catch up with colleagues and share in the delights of Chinese Medicine and how effective it can be in supporting our patients.

Feeling grounded and restored after five beautiful days on a mindfulness silent retreat in Snowdonia. 🌱🌿🌷

People ask me, “how can you stay silent for five days?!” And I say that it’s the most wonderful opportunity to reconnect with myself, get grounded and find my centre. It allows me to move towards a place of choosing rather than being governed by my thoughts, leading to more ease and reduced stress.

Trigonos, where the retreat was based, has completely spectacular scenery, with a beautiful mountain range which was constantly changing with the dramatic weather conditions. sometimes you could see it’s peak radiant in the sun, other times, it was covered in a thick mist. There was always a sense of stillness deep inside the mountain in-spite of the ever-changing weather going on around it. It’s a bit like the thoughts in our minds that come and go, bombarding like hectic winds and storms. Deep down, there is a stability of the mountain just like there is a stability that comes from the awareness that arises inside ourselves that is able to watch and respond to the weather patterns in our own minds. Come join me in the Rose Garden on Thursday mornings, starting again on 2nd May from 9:30-10:30. Luckily we have the beautiful summer house to protect us from the dramatic weather conditions that have become so familiar recently. Hope to see you soon. 💖

So grateful for such a fun weekend in Edinburgh with Freya . 💖
