Mindful Practices
with Leanda Carroll MSc. MBI
How mindfulness can help us
Practicing mindfulness helps us to develop inner resources such as clarity and stability. It can ‘wake us up’ to aspects of our everyday experience which we miss when we are constantly lost in our thoughts.
Leanda Carroll MSc. MBI has created this course to take you through the process of discovering mindfulness and all of its benefits.
Main themes of the course
Personal growth
Studies from the University of Wisconsin show that mindfulness practices lead to an increased activation in areas of the brain responsible for positive emotions and lowered states of anxiety.
Self awareness
Allows you to slow down and create space between receiving information, processing, and reacting – giving you the ability to check-in with your best self in real-time before responding.
Increased vitality
Scientific studies show that mindfulness prevents depression and also positively affects the brain patterns underlying day to day stress, irritability and anxiety.
