Do you feel held back by your health challenges, whether it’s pain or a long-term condition? Are you looking for ways to equip yourself in the face of difficulty?
In this coaching programme, you will learn to go from resistance to resilience to reclaim your life.
Vidyamala has been helping people to find the tools to reclaim their lives for more than two decades. Having discovered meditation age 25, she has gone on to mine the power of the mind through intensive training in the Buddhist tradition and re-built her life from the ashes of major health challenges. She founded the globally-recognised Breathworks Foundation in 2001 and has helped 100,000s of people experiencing pain, illness and other difficulties.
In her first coaching course of this kind, Vidyamala will work closely with you to help you realise your fullest potential.
Across 4 weeks you will learn:
-
Skills you can immediately use in your daily life
-
Proven evidence-based pain and illness mindfulness tools
-
Plus, you will have access to an exclusive online platform for the duration of the course
-
And access to a Mindfulness for Pain and Illness community group after the course
Week 1: Awareness is Revolutionary - How to Harness the Power of the Mind
Learn how to let go of ‘the second arrow’ of reactivity when facing difficult times. Learn how to regulate your breathing to bring about greater calm.
Week 3: Only Connect - You Are Not Alone
Turn your pain on its head. Instead of it being a cause of isolation let it be a doorway to connection. All human beings share a rich palette of suffering and joy. Move from defaulting to feeling separate and alone and learn how to cultivate a sense of common humanity.
Week 2: To Love is to Live - Discover the Alchemy of Self-Compassion
Learn how to respond to your own pain and difficulty the way you’d naturally respond to a loved one who is hurting. Discover the middle way between denial and overwhelm to live with more ease and balance. Discover the ‘kind breath’.
Week 4: Flowing and Loving - Experience Life as a River not a Rock
Learn how to relate to experience as fluid and open rather than tight and contracted. Open your mind to taste vastness and wonder - find the sky within.
