“The research tells us that practising mindfulness does have some benefits for mental health wellbeing and for managing depression and anxiety.” — Dr Grant Blashki GP – Beyond Blue Australia

Reduced overthinking and anxiety

Mindfulness helps you to regulate your nervous system. When your nervous system is regulated your experience less anxiety, your mind calms down and overthinking stops.

Better sleep.

Experience better sleep with mindfulness meditation. The more relaxed we become, the easier it is to sleep.

Greater self-acceptance and self-love.

Mindfulness helps us realise we are perfectly OK just as we are, right here and right now.

Healthier relationships through reduced reactivity.

Rather than getting lost in a ‘fight or flight’ response when we feel annoyed, angry or threatened in our relationships, we have the tools to respond, rather than react.

Greater feelings of joy and freedom.

Mindfulness and meditation allows us to experience natural feelings of joy, calm and freedom.

Increased self-awareness and emotional intelligence.

Develop the wisdom and emotional intelligence to navigate life’s challenges in an easier, simpler and more rewarding way.
