Mindfulness Level 3
Our Mindfulness course helps you focus on the present and learn of how your body, thoughts and feelings are connected.
Course Introduction
At the heart of mindfulness is self-awareness – the ability to be present in the moment and fully aware of our emotions, thoughts and surroundings. Practising mindfulness techniques can therefore help reduce anxiety, increase focus and improve mental well-being. An online mindfulness course is a great way to learn these skills in a supportive learning environment.
During this comprehensive online mindfulness course, you’ll discover the fascinating history of the discipline, including how it was introduced to the Western world. You’ll explore techniques and mindfulness practices such as meditation, visualisation and breathing exercises. You’ll also discover ways to help people observe their thoughts and feelings, and learn how actions and emotions are intertwined.
