ABOUT MINDFULNESS

Why Mindfulness?

Are you feeling stressed, anxious, or depressed?
Does life sometimes get on top of you,
or simply pass you by?
Or maybe you are looking for a greater sense of clarity and sense of purpose, and would like to find more joy and appreciation in your life?

Mindfulness is suitable for anyone living and breathing! It can help all of us who encounter the challenges of everyday life, and wish to explore a fuller and more rewarding life.

Benefits of Mindfulness

Mindfulness has been shown to be beneficial for a wide range of conditions, including:
• Stress
• Anxiety
• Panic attacks
• Depression
• Chronic pain
• High blood pressure
In addition, it is helpful for developing:
• More self-confidence
• Increased energy
• Greater well-being
• Better decision-making
• Improved relationships

How Mindfulness Works

Through meditation techniques and exercises to integrate mindful attention in our daily life, mindfulness offers a fundamentally different way of relating to our life and experiences. We discover more pleasure in small unexpected moments, and greater freedom to deal with the struggles and stresses of life in a calm and constructive way.

ABOUT EVERYDAY MINDFULNESS COURSES

Everyday Mindfulness Courses are run by husband and wife team Eva Ruijgrok-Lupton and Dan Lupton. Together we have more than 50 years meditation experience, and have been teaching mainstream mindfulness since 2008. We have taught over a 1000 people, and regularly teach fundraising drop-in classes for charitable causes and offer free workshops for disadvantaged groups.

We provide a wide range of courses in Mindfulness and Mindful Self-Compassion, from introductory workshops for beginners, courses for groups and individuals, distant learning courses, fortnightly drop-in sessions, follow-up workshops and courses to deepen practice, as well as bespoke trainings for organisations. We keep our teachings alive with our own continuous practice and exploration. For more information, please see the website: www.everyday-mindfulness.com.
