Created by accredited Mindfulness teacher Emma Reynolds, these courses are designed to allow you to study at your own speed with all the resources that you need.
Emma has touched literally thousands of lives with her online courses.
Through her on-going collaboration with Macmillan Education she offers webinars on stress reduction to school teachers, and created their first Mindfulness course for primary students. She presents Mindfulness courses to corporate groups (such as Maersk, Liberty Insurance). For several years she ran her own retreat centre in France, and offers the 8 week MBSR (Mindfulness-based stress reduction course) online and in person in her adopted home for the last 20 years - Spain.
What is Mindfulness?
Mindfulness is non-judgemental present moment awareness. So - being absolutely here and now, with whatever is going on, without wanting it to be different. Stress comes when we want a different experience and can't get it. Mindfulness helps you to wisely respond to life's ups and downs.
Mindfulness and Meditation
We practice meditation (which is as "easy" as closing your eyes and becoming aware of thoughts, emotions, body sensations, sounds etc). We also practice being more mindful in our everyday lives - so perhaps practicing to be more mindful as we eat, walk, converse. This can have huge knock-on effects for our physical and mental well-being, our relationships and how we deal with the wider world.
"You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf."
This quote from Jon Kabat-Zinn, credited with being one of the fore-most Mindfulness teachers living today, reminds us life is full of challenges, but we can learn to surf with them - dance with life, and enjoy the ride.
Hi, I’m Emma
I'm an accredited teacher in both MBSR (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction) and Mindfulness for children (Mindfulness in Schools Project, UK). I feel passionately that each one of us has the ability to change or discard unhelpful learned ways of being and allow the best to shine.
I have been living in Spain since 1999 and am accredited through the Mindful Academy. I am also a member of the Association of Professional Instructors of Mindfulness, Barcelona.
