About Mindfulness

Mindfulness is paying attention to the present moment. Mindful Living is living our lives with awarness, being fully awake to whatever we are doing, being fully here in this moment. Meditation is freedom from attachment, it is a way of developing a non-seeking and non-grasping mind and finding peace in each moment. The main aim of meditation is to still and quieten the mind and the benefits of this are many.

Ananda Programmes is modelled on the Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Programme (MBSR) developed by world renowned Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn at the University of Massachusetts Medical Centre Boston. The MBSR Programme is now running for 30 years and has supported endless thousands of people worldwide to change lifelong patterns and habits which no longer serves them well.

In the MBSR Programme we use mindfulness meditation, breathing exercises, focused awareness techniques and mindful body movement to develop and cultivate a higher level of self realisation and an in-depth understanding of how to release accumulated stress. You experience how to access your inner peace, clarity and joy, thereby living a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

The Mindfulness Programmes are designed to support you in your everyday life, giving practical ways to improve the quality of each moment. Using the practice of mindfulness meditation allows you to open and embrace the fullness of life. The Programmes are experiential and give a clear and firsthand understanding of how mindfulness enhances the quality of your day to day living. They show you what gives rise to the stresses and difficulties of life and how you can eliminate unnecessary pain and suffering through living in the now.

Ananda Programmes offers you the experience of being in the NOW and how managing your energy is essential for a happy and peaceful life.
