Description

I ran my first 6 week mindfulness meditation group in November after recently qualifying with the Central England College. I just wanted to let you know that I found your book really helpful. I was able to use it as a starting point for some of my classes and found all the resources so helpful and they gave me much more confidence to deliver the sessions…the feedback was very positive and they all felt they’d benefited from the classes, had learned something and wanted to continue. Thank you so much – I know I’ll use your book as I continue on my mindfulness teaching journey!

The idea behind creating this booklet came from two sources. Firstly, over many years of running drop-in sessions, taster classes and other sessions, I found myself explicitly focusing on one or more of the nine mindfulness attitudes. They are so fundamental to the practice of mindfulness that it is essential to return to them again and again and find new ways to communicate and engage participants in deepening their understanding and cultivation of them. Over this time, I therefore gathered and developed a lot of material and also received much positive feedback from participants about the value of the discussions, practices and inspiring readings and exercises that we had shared together.

When I started to train mindfulness teachers for the UK College of Mindfulness Meditation, I always had so much content and so many ideas to share with aspiring teachers that it would be impossible to cover everything in our 5-day vocational courses. Feedback and requests from a good number of new teachers inspired me to start creating some practical resources that new teachers could pick up and run with immediately, resources that they could trust and rely on to give them more confidence at the start of their teaching journey

And so, the idea of this booklet emerged over time and it has been a labour of love for me to gather together and present some of the ideas I’ve created and used over several years. In the end, I believe it has become a useful resource for both new and more experienced teachers and for working with groups and individuals alike.

I do hope you enjoy using the ideas and resources provided here and that it is beneficial to you and your participants on your shared learning and teaching journey.

May your warmth radiate and spread beauty, love and peace in the world.
