Experience the clinically proven benefits of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) for reducing your stress, anxiety, feelings of being overwhelmed and not coping; with MBSR practices you can learn to surf the waves rather than drowning.

With Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, we are learning to gently come home to ourselves using the breath and the sensations the body, gently tuning into ourselves and learning to find peace with whatever we find there. We practice listening to the body's signals and learn how not to be carried away by worried or negative thinking. Over time this helps regulate the emotional roller-coaster and we find a place of greater calm.

Learning to live in the here and now,  we can also appreciate each moment with increased clarity which brings us increased joy and happiness in our lives.

I have been practising yoga and mindfulness since 1997 and have seen myself  calmer and clearer in my heart and mind over the years, as well as seeing my relationships with others improving. I have an MSc in Mindfulness from Exeter University, UK and have been teaching since 2009.

Jiva Masheder

Mindfulness & Self-Compassion Teacher

Jiva, yes! Mind needs to work, sometimes race. Mind needs to rest, in refuge, in breath, always breathing. Thanks.

Refuge

Indeed, my breath is my refuge, my safe place to assure me that I am also alive and well. And I am grateful. Thank you, Jiva, for this refreshing meditation.   Namaste and Metta. 🙏🏻

Breath as Refuge

I learned that it’s okay to take refuge in my breathing in order to step away from the stresses and anxieties of the day. 

I feel a little calm, but wish I could be in a happy place when I breathe 

Feeling a little calm

The breath is a great refuge from worry and uncertainty - it's going on all the time and we don't need to do anything with it, but we can rest our attention there as a refuge from worry, anxiety and planning for the future. A real resting place, available at any time.
