Mindfulness is present moment non-judgmental awareness. There are multiple systems you can use to practice mindfulness. Preethi Balan teaches the Unified Mindfulness system which is a secular and flexible system to practice mindfulness not just on the cushion but in daily life. Stressed because of your workload, boss, family situation, learning to practice mindfulness can help you experience relief. Mindfulness also enhances the flavor of your existing experiences (like time spent with your toddler, time spent sipping your cup of coffee, just being instead of doing), which we tend to neglect or trivialize in pursuit of happiness at a future time.
What is Mindfulness Coaching?
Mindfulness coaching works with the client to offer support in building a consistent practice. The coach teaches various techniques and the client brings back reports to discuss based on the practice application. Based on the client feedback the coach journeys with the client to support with the right kind of practice for their lifestyle and life situation.
Why is it necessary?
Building a consistent practice is the key challenge in mindfulness. And this requires techniques or tools that suits a person individually. Coaching helps address both these points as well as responding to specific life challenges.
Goals
- Learning simple meditation and mindfulness techniques.
- Support with building a consistent practice
- Experience relief from stress, anxiety, increased sense of well-being, better understanding of self and better management of relationships
