“What brought me to Mindfulness and my journey as a teacher of Mindfulness Practice? ​⠀ ⠀ As a practicing counseling therapist and teacher of group workshops, the desire to deepen my knowledge and awareness brought me to the practices of Meditation and Mindfulness. Through the consistent use of these skills and techniques in my daily life for many years now, I experience daily, the benefits of a deepening inner peace and enhanced quality of life which has become my joy to share and teach to others. I’m blessed to have experienced this as my life’s focus and calling.” Helen Williams, Mindful ME Founder​⠀ ⠀ #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
The Gift of stubbornness. Other words that describe stubbornness are obstinate, rigid, inflexible, stuck. How can we find the gift in stubbornness when this very way of being creates such tension and strain in all our relationships – from toddlers expressing their fine opinions all the way through to our partner’s unbending viewpoints. Mark this one on your calendars as it’s sure to bring great dialogue alive! When: Sunday June 30th, from 7pm to 9pm Where: hosted venue in Barsha Heights How: to secure your spot email Alfie on info@mindfulme.me orwhatsapp 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
Have you ever travelled solo?​⠀ ⠀ Our founder Helen Williams recently wrote an article for Grazia Middle East @grazia_me about the importance of traveling solo as a woman.​⠀ ⠀ “One of the wisest and bravest things a woman can do is embark on a solo adventure. It brings a whole new perspective about relationships, self, safety, security, and the wisdom that can only be found in meeting, embracing and exploring what scares us. The greatest skill a woman can have is the ability to trust herself to feel safe, be comfortable and enjoy being and experiencing herself. Self-companionship creates self-compassion, self-awareness, deeper self-care, self-trust, self-honour, and self-respect. This comes about through needing to depend and rely on yourself for all your needs – social, emotional, physical and spiritual.”​⠀ ⠀ We would love to hear your experience 🤗.​⠀ ⠀ #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​⠀ ⠀ Cooking meals for ourselves and our loved ones is a wonderful opportunity to deepen our awareness through gratitude. ​⠀ ⠀ As you chop and prepare your ingredients - take a moment to offer love and nourishment to those you will feed. Breathe in gratitude for the environment that provides us with provisions, plentiful and bountiful for all our needs.​⠀ ⠀ Notice the colours and textures of the ingredients and how they compliment each other. Bring your attention to how they change through the cooking process and become a nourishing meal. ​⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #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

Our Mindful Parenting Workshops are facilitated by Jo Jewell, our experienced parenting specialist who has worked with parents and children in schools and privately for the past 15 years @mindfulparentinguae . We have asked Jo to share her personal journey into Mindfulness as we believe many parents out there can relate. You can read below her words.​⠀ ⠀ “When I first became a parent I realized that I wasn’t very good at managing my emotions which meant that parenting a toddler - who is full of emotion - was very challenging for me. I looked for ways to stay calmer and become more aware of what I was feeling so that I could learn to enjoy parenting with less triggers and be able to help my children learn about their emotions. I used a variety of strategies and found that practicing mindfulness made it easier to accept my own feelings, without judgement so I could also accept my children’s emotions, it meant I was more able to stay present during my time with them rather than worrying about the past or thinking about what was going to happen next. As I became more experienced in my own practice I incorporated it into the work I did as a school counsellor with students, teachers and parents and saw how it added hugely to my ability to support others as well as supporting myself. I have now incorporated mindfulness into all my teachings through Mindful Parenting Workshops and the individual support I offer my clients.”​⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #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
What is Self-Worth?​⠀ ⠀ Many people struggle to define, understand or connect with the topic of self-worth. Self-worth and self-esteem are often used interchangeably as substitutes; however their meanings are quite different. Let’s enjoy exploring this topic and bring our own insights and understandings to an interesting conversation about this and discuss the HOW of worthiness. ​⠀ ⠀ When: Sunday June 16th, 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
“Embracing the Chaos” Are you longing for the summer holidays or dreading the lack of routine and structure that term time provides? Holidays with children or adolescents can be challenging, particularly if you spend much of it travelling, living out of a suitcase or staying with family who have very different ideas on how to parent. Many of us crave the certainty and safety of a routine, of being in familiar surroundings and feeling in control of our environment so whilst we look forward to a holiday it can also bring anxiety around uncertainty, changes in sleeping and eating patterns and the feeling of chaos that might follow! In this session of Living as a Mindful Parent we will look at ‘chaos’ and what it means to each of us, what is the story we tell ourselves about holidays, how we feel about change and being out of control, how feeling judged by family impacts on us and what all of this means when it comes to our parenting. When: Thursday June 20th, 9am-11am​⁣ Where: hosted venue in Jumeirah Park​⁣ How: to secure your spot email Alfie on info@mindfulme.me or​ whatsapp him on +971544668400. ​⁣ #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​⠀ ⠀ As the weather heats up why not take the opportunity to cool off with a swim? ​⠀ ⠀ Notice the feeling of the water gliding against your skin as you move almost effortlessly through the water. ​⠀ ⠀ Bring your awareness to how the water holds you, almost wraps itself around you. You are, for this moment, weightless, allow yourself to let go and experience this freedom. ⠀ ⠀ #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
