NEW Mindful Living session⁠ Grief and Grieving – Opening to the many layers of grief⁠ We all experience grief on different levels – we all suffer losses in many forms. None of us are immune to this powerful experience in our lives and yet many of us struggle to speak about it, or to understand how to be with others when they are deeply grieving. Because there are so many layers to grief and loss, so many diverse ways of experiencing grief and bereavement, it is important to make time to discuss in an open, compassionate way how this life-changing experience can and does impact our lives. We look forward to being together with this important topic. ⁠ ⁠ When: Sunday January 26th, from 7pm to 9pm. 100 AED per person⁠ Where: hosted venue in Barsha Heights⁠ How: to secure your spot email Alfie on info@mindfulme.me or⁠ whatsapp him on +971 54 466 8400. ⁠ ⁠ #mindfulness #mindful #mindfuldubai #qigongdubai #mindfulmovement #mindfulme_dubai #mindfulnessdubai #mindfulnessindubai #dubai #uae #conscious #loveandlight #meditationdubai #community #workshop #growth #delightinbeing #explore #curiouscommunity #meditation #present #awareness #now #asyouare #qigong⁠ ⁠ ⁠ It’s not uncommon for people to equate mindfulness with meditation. It’s true that meditation is one extremely powerful way to practice mindfulness, but that’s not all there is to it.⁠ ⁠ “Mindfulness means being awake. It means knowing what you are doing.” Jon Kabat-Zinn⁠ ⁠ Mindfulness means developing the ability to pay deliberate attention to our thoughts, feelings and sensations as they happen, moment by moment, learning to tune into what is going on in our body and mind. Learning to suspend self-judgement and self-criticism can have surprising results.⁠ ⁠ Join us on February 3rd as a new Mindfulness practice workshop begins.⁠ ⁠ When: Mondays Feb (Mon) 3, 10, 17, & 24 , from 7pm to 9pm⁠ Where: hosted venue in Barsha Heights⁠ How: to secure your spot email Alfie on info@mindfulme.me or⁠ whatsapp him on +971 54 466 8400. ⁠ ⁠ #mindfulness #mindful #mindfuldubai #qigongdubai #mindfulmovement #mindfulme_dubai #mindfulnessdubai #mindfulnessindubai #dubai #uae #conscious #loveandlight #meditationdubai #community #workshop #growth #delightinbeing #explore #curiouscommunity #meditation #present #awareness #now #asyouare #qigong Why do parents feel guilty?⁠ NEW *LIVING AS A MINDFUL PARENT* session⁠ ⁠ Do you feel like guilt is a necessary part of parenting? That it’s impossible to be a good mum or dad without feeling guilty on a regular basis? Do you feel bad when your child gets upset, gets angry with you or tells you they don’t like you? Were you made to feel guilty growing up and told that it was your job to look after others before yourself? Do you feel guilty in your relationships with your parents or other family members now and visit or call them because you feel bad if you don’t? ⁠ In this session we will focus on the feeling of guilt - what the difference is between guilt and shame, why we feel guilty and what messages the feeling is sending us. We will look at the role of guilt in parenting and how feelings of guilt can teach us and our children valuable lessons if we can accept and understand it rather than avoid or push it away.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ When: Thursday Jan 30th, 9am-11am. 100AED per person.⁠ Where: hosted venue in Jumeirah Park⁠ How: to secure your spot email Alfie on info@mindfulme.me or⁠ whatsapp him on +971 54 466 8400. ⁠ ⁠ #mindfulness #mindful #mindfuldubai #qigongdubai #mindfulmovement #mindfulme_dubai #mindfulnessdubai #mindfulnessindubai #dubai #uae #conscious #loveandlight #meditationdubai #community #workshop #growth #delightinbeing #explore #curiouscommunity #meditation #present #awareness #now #asyouare #qigong⁠ ⁠ #EverydayMindfulness⁠ ⁠ Noticing Space⁠ ⁠ Brief moments of deep peace are possible whenever a gap occurs in the stream of our thoughts. Don't look to filling the gap - just notice and land in the stillness of the space.⁠ ⁠ #mindfulness #mindful #mindfuldubai #qigongdubai #mindfulmovement #mindfulme_dubai #mindfulnessdubai #mindfulnessindubai #dubai #uae #conscious #loveandlight #meditationdubai #community #workshop #growth #delightinbeing #explore #curiouscommunity #meditation #present #awareness #now #asyouare #qigong *NEW Mindfulness practice for parents* led by Jo Jewell* ⁠ “The deeper cause of family dysfunction is not the parents’ lack of knowledge or education but their lack of awareness. Without a conscious parent there can be no conscious parenting!….when there is no mindfulness you relate to your child….through the conditioning of your mind”.⁠ Eckhart Tolle ⁠ As parents we can all get stuck in repeating the patterns of our own childhood, unconsciously parenting in the same way or so desperately trying to avoid repeating existing patterns that we don’t even realise we are just creating new patterns that our children will themselves get stuck in. The only way to avoid this is by being present in ourselves so we can be present in our parenting - conscious of our feelings, our thoughts and therefore able to choose our own, authentic behaviours. Mindfulness teaches us the skills to be able to practise presence, to be more patient, aware of our feelings, non-judgemental and less attached to type of parent we should be or what our child should achieve so that we can allow ourselves and them to be exactly what we are meant to.⁠ Join this 4 week session running on Tuesday mornings starting on January 21st.⁠ Cost is AED1300 per person.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ When: Jan/Feb (Tues) 21, 28, 4, 11 9am – 11am,⁠ Where: hosted venue in Jumeirah Park⁠ How: to secure your spot email Alfie on info@mindfulme.me or whatsapp him on +971 54 466 8400. ⁠ ⁠ #mindfulness #mindful #mindfuldubai #qigongdubai #mindfulmovement #mindfulme_dubai #mindfulnessdubai #mindfulnessindubai #dubai #uae #conscious #loveandlight #meditationdubai #community #workshop #growth #delightinbeing #explore #curiouscommunity #meditation #present #awareness #now #asyouare #qigong⁠ ⁠ Mindful Living session *Why do I Constantly Feel Guilty?*⁠ This is such a commonly expressed question, a view shared by so many of us. We speak about feeling guilty about a great deal of our daily lives, even to the extent of feeling trapped within this intense feeling. Come and enjoy an open, non-judgmental conversation about this difficult subject, and find ways of seeing guilt with more clarity. A great topic to explore!⁠ ⁠ When: Sunday January 12th, from 7pm to 9pm. 100 AED per person⁠ Where: hosted venue in Barsha Heights⁠ How: to secure your spot email Alfie on info@mindfulme.me or⁠ whatsapp him on +971 54 466 8400. ⁠ ⁠ #mindfulness #mindful #mindfuldubai #qigongdubai #mindfulmovement #mindfulme_dubai #mindfulnessdubai #mindfulnessindubai #dubai #uae #conscious #loveandlight #meditationdubai #community #workshop #growth #delightinbeing #explore #curiouscommunity #meditation #present #awareness #now #asyouare #qigong #MindfulnessAtwork⁠ Inspiring spaces⁠ ⁠ Make some room for yourself and treasure the space you have to do your best work. ⁠ It might mean sorting through that pile of papers sitting in the corner of your desk or cleaning out that drawer. Or maybe it's pretty tidy but a simple wipe down of the surface feels refreshing. Is there space to bring something that makes you smile to your desk? A plant? A photo? One of our postcard handouts? What will make your desk feel like an inviting and inspiring place to be? ⁠ ⁠ #mindfulness #mindful #mindfuldubai #qigongdubai #mindfulmovement #mindfulme_dubai #mindfulnessdubai #mindfulnessindubai #dubai #uae #conscious #loveandlight #meditationdubai #community #workshop #growth #delightinbeing #explore #curiouscommunity #meditation #present #awareness #now #asyouare #qigong Are you an expecting mama and wondering how your journey into motherhood would be?⁠ ⁠ Are you a newly mom and you wish somebody prepared you for motherhood before? This workshop is for both of you.⁠ ⁠ “Becoming a Family – A Mindfulness Journey into Parenthood”⁠ ⁠ Are you struggling with even the idea of parenthood? Or struggling with the SHOULDS not matching your current experience?⁠ ⁠ We at @MindfulMe_dubai have experienced and witnessed the challenges that traumatic beginnings, untold truths, bonding struggles, hidden secrets, and hurtful judgements can bring to early parenthood. We have also experienced how Mindfulness can bring enormous support, insights, resources and strength to these struggles.⁠ ⁠ Come and experience, in our safe and nurturing environment, how Mindfulness Practices can provide knowledge and simple tools and techniques to soften, soothe and comfort worry, fear and anxiety in even the most difficult circumstances. ⁠ ⁠ Whether you are just beginning or are further along in your parenting journey, all are welcome, including small babies, to share, contribute and learn together. ⁠ When: Thursdays, January 9th, 16th, 23rd, and Feb 6th. 9am-11am⁠ Where: hosted venue in Barsha Heights⁠ How: to secure your spot email Alfie on info@mindfulme.me or whatsapp him on +971 54 466 8400. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #mindfulness #mindful #mindfuldubai #qigongdubai #mindfulmovement #mindfulme_dubai #mindfulnessdubai #mindfulnessindubai #dubai #uae #conscious #loveandlight #meditationdubai #community #workshop #growth #delightinbeing #explore #curiouscommunity #meditation #present #awareness #now #asyouare #qigong A mindful approach to New Year’s Resolutions⁠ ⁠ As we approach the beginning of a full new year, most of us are pondering those pesky New Year’s resolutions. ⁠ However research indicates that only 8% of people actually achieve these. Problem with resolution is that they put us firmly in militaristic effort mode obsessed with outcomes and notions of success and failure. We should perhaps think in terms of intentions instead of resolutions.⁠ ⁠ While resolutions are firm and hard, intentions are flexible. As we seek personal transformation in the year ahead, let’s do it with a mindful approach.⁠ ⁠ 1. Consider your intention⁠ 2. Focus on process, not results⁠ 3. Change your habit loop⁠ 4. Be kind to yourself⁠ 5. Consider resolution alternatives⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #mindfulness #mindful #mindfuldubai #qigongdubai #mindfulmovement #mindfulme_dubai #mindfulnessdubai #mindfulnessindubai #dubai #uae #conscious #loveandlight #meditationdubai #community #workshop #growth #delightinbeing #explore #curiouscommunity #meditation #present #awareness #now #asyouare #qigong
