The brain changes in positive ways with Mindful Meditation.

Parts of brain related to attention, sensory processing, emotion and stress regulation, as well as empathy/compassion, are strengthened.

THE ART & SCIENCE OF MINDFULNESS

​

Mindful Meditation Model

 

My mindfulness programmes are simple and easy to integrate into daily life, no matter how busy you are; they have, though, a sound & robust scientific base as taught in Timeless Impact Academy

​

I work with the IAA Model (*) i.e. using mindful meditation as a tool to achieve

growth, empowerment, compassion & positive change, through establishing & enriching:

​

• Intention: one’s personal vision for growth & change via mindful meditation.

• Attention: one’s ability, via mindful meditation, to observe moment-to-moment, internal and external experience and thus avoid the interpretation of experience. A “return to things themselves” (Husserl).

• Attitude: the qualities one attaches to attention; heart & mind; “an affectionate, compassionate quality . . . a sense of openhearted, friendly presence and interest” Kabat-Zinn, 2003, p. 145 (**).
