Mindfulness helps us learn how to stabilise our attention in the present moment, allowing us to experience more clearly the interconnectedness of our thoughts, emotions, body sensations and impulses. We learn to accept thoughts as just thoughts and to observe the inner workings of the mind and body together as we live our lives. Bit by bit &#8211; we learn to live more in the present moment (the only moment we truly have) instead of &#8216;time-travelling&#8217; &#8211; worrying about the future or regretting past events or what might have been. <span style=\"background-color: var( --e-global-color-astglobalcolor5 ); color: var(--ast-global-color-3); font-size: 1rem;\">In MBCT personal histories and beliefs are not disclosed &#8211; only our experiences in body and mind in the present moment (or recalled following mindfulness practice) are explored.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"background-color: var( --e-global-color-astglobalcolor5 ); color: var(--ast-global-color-3); font-size: 1rem;\">In MBCT, clients enrol in one of the evidence-based pathways &#8211; the weekly session duration is fixed but varies between different courses.

several mindfulness classes with Leon Maciocia and it was life-changing, character-building and awareness-raising. He is a skilled teacher and his approach to mindfulness is truly kind, thought-out and well-articulated. He is incredibly kind and well-organized, which made the learning and teaching process so much smoother. He's also an embodied teacher who understands how to help students embody their learning. I would highly recommend Leon Maciocia as a mindfulness teacher and even more so as a human being! <\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-meta\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-meta-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-details\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-name\">PK (<span style=\"font-weight: 400; white-space: normal; caret-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.9); color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.9); font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, &quot;Fira Sans&quot;, Ubuntu, Oxygen, &quot;Oxygen Sans&quot;, Cantarell, &quot;Droid Sans&quot;, &quot;Apple Color Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Symbol&quot;, &quot;Lucida Grande&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">Kyndryl Mindful Practice Lead | Mindfulness Supervisor &amp; Teacher | Agile Thought Leader l Coach | Mental Health Ambassador | Associate Director<\/span>)<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8f750ef elementor-widget elementor-widget-testimonial\" data-id=\"8f750ef\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"testimonial.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-content\">Leon was a reliable guide throughout the program and created a positive and constructive environment to introduce and explore mindfulness techniques for the first time.
