Private Lessons
Private online lessons or private group lessons for up to 6 people can be arranged.
How does it work?
Choose what you would like to learn about and practice from the lists below. If unsure, we are happy to advise and guide you.
A session involves a combination of a guided practice and some of the science explaining it. (The amount of the science is at your discretion. Some people just prefer the practice.)
The guided practice incorporates 7 different types of mindfulness / meditation, so you experience a wide range.
Guided practice options:
- Mindfulness body scan
- Breath meditation
- Open-eye meditation
- Mantra meditation
- Loving-kindness meditation
- Compassion meditation
- Open-awareness meditation
A few of the science areas that can be covered are:
What is meditation? What is mindfulness? How do we do it?
The body’s response to stress and the physiology of what is happening in the brain and body. Moreover, why meditation is an antidote to stress, and develops emotional regulation and impulse control.
The physiology of what is happening in the body when we meditate
How meditation develops the brain’s ability to ‘let things go’ (ie what is happening in the brain), and hence builds up resilience, self-acceptance, self-esteem and confidence.
How we treat ourselves – silencing our inner critic.
How the practice of meditation improves focus, concentration and memory and therefore performance at school / work.
The negative bias of the brain, the science of optimism / pessimism, and consequently, how we can become more optimistic.
How a meditation for compassion / loving kindness can improve a person’s capability for empathy and hence emotional intelligence.
Happiness: What is it and the chemicals in the brain responsible for it. How and why we evolved to have these chemicals, and finally, how to produce them.
