Grounding and arriving.... Realise Mindfulness - Episode 1

In this episode, we lay the groundwork for the intent and flow of the podcast.Kate shares a bit about her own journey to mindfulness and why she is so passionate about sharing it with others. It can be helpful to be clear on the science and evidence behind why mindfulness can be so effective, so we also spend some time exploring this territory. We outline the flow of the episodes which follow a rich heritage of evidenced mindfulness-based courses. Finally, we end with a short grounding meditation.  If you go no further, regularly bringing your attention to this simple anchoring practice may help to steady and calm you in the midst of your day. This podcast is intended as an ongoing support resource to anyone who has attended an 8-week Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction or Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy course or similar. It may also serve as an introduction or a resource to support the continuation of a budding meditation practice. However, we believe that there is no replacement for attending a live 8-week group which offers the alchemy of group learning alongside the real-time support of a qualified teacher.
