PRIVATE ONLINE MINDFULNESS SESSIONS: MANAGING STRESS AND ANXIETY

These sessions are conducted using platforms such as Zoom or WhatsApp, providing individuals with the opportunity to receive guidance and support from the comfort of their own homes.

Stress has some common characteristics for all of us, but resilience to stress and response to different kind of relaxation practices is unique for each of us. 

Private sessions online for managing stress and anxiety with mindfulness offer individuals the opportunity to receive personalized guidance and support. These sessions, conducted through platforms such as Zoom or WhatsApp, provide convenience and accessibility for individuals seeking to incorporate mindfulness into their daily lives.

Mindfulness has been proven to help manage stress and anxiety, reduce panic attacks episodes or even help to free from them forever. It has significant benefits for people suffering from chronic pain, helping to manage pain and reduce sensations of pain through working with fears and habitual responses of our mind and body.

 A few of the proven benefits of mindfulness: 

  • Increased self-awareness
  • Pain management
  • Enhanced health
  • Decreased stress & anxiety
  • Reduction and skilful management of panic attacks episodes
  • Increased sense of calm
  • Improved sleep
  • Skilful responses to difficult emotions
  • Increased empathy and understanding of others
  • Improved impulse control
  • Increased appreciation for life
  • Better listening skills and compassionate communication with others
  • Improving relationships

It is important to note that while private sessions online can be highly beneficial for managing stress and anxiety, they are not a substitute for professional mental health care. Individuals experiencing severe or chronic stress and anxiety should seek the guidance of a qualified mental health professional.

TRANSFORMING POWER OF FEAR AND ANXIETY

Private online consultations available.

This workshop is a chance to look at those challenging experiences and feelings with curiosity and compassion. Developing acceptance and friendly attitude through looking at our mind and body from a completely different perspective, cultivating spaciousness and openness but also understanding mechanisms lying beneath those intense experiences. 

It is not so much about facing your fears and trying, it is exploring them and hearing them out. From this point of compassion and gentleness with ourselves we will be going to deeply relaxing and meditative states, using yoga nidra, sound and some form of hypnotic language you have a chance to connect with deeper parts of the sub-conscious mind and rewire some of the beliefs and ideas through positive affirmations and intentions. 

I will share with you some of the techniques I learned when I was working with my anxiety and panic disorder. How to come back to the calm place, when things seem to get out of control, and how to manage stress and increase wellness in your life to achieve greater balance. Afterall there is no one golden way to respond to those challenging moments, and there has to be a balance between all aspects of our being. We will work with our mind, but I will also mention how to support the body with diet, exercise and natural medicine.

Techniques used:

  • practical information,
  • journaling,
  • sound bath, 
  • mindfulness and guided meditation
  • relaxation techniques
  • positive affirmations
  • breathing exercises
  • yoga nidra

Sound Bath is a form of deep relaxation that allows the mind to enter parts of our subconscious mind, where we can change and rewire our habitual connections and patterns. Sounds played will gently move you to the calmer and more relaxed state, where hypnosis can be even more powerful, and planting positive affirmations which will change your beliefs about the fear and yourself can be much easier. To deepen this process, I will also use yoga nidra relaxation.

Before we start to change anything, we will have a serious of conscious exercises helping you to explore and understand your fear but also to learn how to be with it in a calm and non-judgemental way.

SOUND BATH RELAXATION

(Weekly sessions in Galway on Sundays @ 7 pm- 8.15 pm )

Sound bath is a form of deep relaxation with the sounds and vibration of gongs, singing bowls and other ethnic instruments. It is an effortless way to enter meditation state and to relax. This practice gives us not only a chance to relax and contemplate, but also can result in many health benefits if attended regularly. 

It is a form of meditation practice what also means that you can become aware of your thoughts, emotions, or various sensations in the body — both pleasant and unpleasant. We encourage you to leave all the expectations behind when entering the room. It will help you to be more present with whatever you will experience during the session. As the mind gets familiar with the new sounds, you allow yourself to let go of your thoughts and tensions. For some people, it happens quickly while for others, it can take a bit longer process. Like any form of practice, it may not suit everyone, but I encourage you to give it a try as it may be a fantastic way to calm your mind and body, contributing to the better health and stress reduction.

All equipment is provided yoga studio: yoga mats, bolsters, blankets, eye pillows & cushions. For extra comfort you can bring a single duvet or folded mat. Please wear comfortable but warm clothes.

Session duration 75 min. No previous experience is needed.
