You can’t sail straight into the wind, and if you only know how to sail with the wind at your back, you will only go where the wind blows you. But if you know how to use the wind’s energy and are patient, you can sometimes get where you want to go. You can still be in control.
(J. Kabat-Zinn, Full Catastrophe Living)

For more information, please join us for a free presentation on Wednesday, 24 February 2021 at 6.30 pm on Zoom (book your free place by clicking HERE or sending an email to claudia@themindfulcloud.com).
We will talk about Mindfulness, the MBSR (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction) Protocol, and the relevant applications, and will lead a short practice to support our self-care throughout life’s small and big challenges.
Mindfulness has entered the vocabulary of anybody interested in physical and psychological well-being and is more and more widely applied across several fields – medical, educational, corporate, military and beyond.
Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) is a Mindfulness-based programme based on several decades of clinical experience, designed to assist people with pain and a range of stressful conditions. Developed at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center in the late 1970s by Jon Kabat-Zinn, MBSR uses a combination of Mindfulness meditation, body awareness and yoga to help people become more mindful. In recent years, it has been the subject of controlled clinical research, suggesting it has beneficial effects, including stress reduction, relaxation, and improvements to quality of life.
And here are some practical details:
