Mindfulness Course
The Introduction to Mindfulness course .b (dot-be) is a 9-week programme run in the Autumn and Spring terms, that will give you a taste of mindfulness and teach you about it in such a way that you can return to it anytime and use it throughout your life if you choose to do so.
Mindfulness at the most simple level is an awareness-raising exercise that can lead to immediate results: greater happiness; feeling calmer; better concentration; greater ability to deal with stress and anxiety.
Mindfulness is a skill that can be developed, or if you like, a muscle that you can exercise. It can be likened to tuning-up a musical instrument. We all possess a very precious instrument, our brain. In Mindfulness practise we follow a very simple set of guidelines that teach us to tune-up our minds: tune-up to come to school; tune-up to learn; tune-up before a match; tune-up before a performance; tune-up for examinations; tune-up to go home.
Over fifty pupils have now completed this course. If you would like to join them in having these skills and wish to sign-up for the next Mindfulness Course, or would just like to discuss this, email:
