MINDFULNESS COACHING – LEARN TO SURF™

THOUGHTS ARE LIKE  WAVES. We have over 65,000 a day. When we experience fear, it’s normally because we are worrying about the future. We are not present.  By addressing fear, by processing it, by not running away from it, you bring it into the present.

YOU CAN’T STOP THE WAVES… BUT YOU CAN LEARN TO SURF!

A central part of my coaching is mindfulness and meditation practice. I am certified in the Power Of Awareness, University of California, Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center and the Awareness Training Institute

LEARN TO SURF™ Sessions

WHAT IS MINDFULNESS?

Mindfulness is a non-judgmental awareness of your thoughts, sensations, surroundings and emotions.

Meditation is a tool for developing mindfulness, but it isn’t the only tool.

WHY MEDITATE?

Practising mindfulness throughout your everyday life can help to train the mind to focus on the present.

Once you’ve installed meditation, you can go to it any time and build your mind muscle. So, if you get stuck in a queue at a bank or in a traffic jam, or you simply have a spare five minutes – meditate!

Learning how to free your mind through meditation is such an amazing tool – and so simple. By learning how to be more present, you are less likely to get caught up in stories in your head or fall into reactive patterns of behaviour like arguing and making poor choices.

THE RAIN METHOD

When you’re meditating ask yourself the simple question ‘What is happening right now in my life?’

This is a great way to bring to the front of your mind the issues you think you might have. This could be drinking. It could be addiction or it could be relationships.

Try the RAIN approach to meditation. This is an acronym for:

Recognise thoughts

Allow thoughts

Investigate thoughts

Nurture thoughts

By using the RAIN method, I changed my beliefs not only about alcohol but about all my anxieties.
