Listen to a free exercise :

Mindfulness wiped my knots, sharpened my understanding of who I am and gave me tools to become calmer, to focus on the now and accept myself as I am. I am still the same person but I can already laugh at myself, even at lesser moments. I live and that is so blissful. Sandra V.

How does it work?
The training is based on two pillars: mindfulness and cognitive therapy.
Mindfulness is also called attention training. It is a meditation technique that is more than 2500 years old. Mindfulness lets you get back in touch with the power and richness of the now in every moment. Mindfulness opens your life to a deeper appreciation and inner freedom.
Cognitive therapy is based on the observation that negative thoughts can contribute to psychological complaints. Negative emotions can also intensify negative thoughts. Throughout the training we gain deeper insight into these mechanisms and we learn how to let them go.
Mindfulness brings our attention to the only moment in which we are truly alive : the present moment. This allows us to live life as fully as possible, even in the most difficult moments.
