Mindfulness Group and Individual sessions with Natalija
Group Session 3-4pm
Individual sessions: 1.30-2.30pm and 4.30-5.30pm
Natalija Stevens is the MBLC (Mindfulness Based Living Course) accredited teacher by Mindfulness Association (2018); and has been running courses and drop-in sessions since that time. She also uses mindfulness teaching/practice in her work as psychotherapeutic counsellor.
Sometimes, when mindfulness arises it can feel as if we are seeing things for the first time with a freshness that can take us by surprise. This quality of mind has been referred to as “beginner’s mind”, and has some of the qualities of wonder and appreciation that a happy child can have in experiencing new things. When we walk past a tree, we are not stuck with the concept of “tree” that we hold in our minds (“I know what trees look like”). Instead, we really see that particular tree with its blossoms, gnarled bark and unique individuality. In this way, mindfulness can help us to engage more fully with life, with its sheer impact and beauty, and can shake us from our habitual thinking, awakening a sense of awe and wonder. Even the most ordinary things can be seen with new eyes and we can appreciate the uniqueness and preciousness of all things.
A meditation teacher, Shunryu Suzuki, said that “in the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities, in the expert’s mind there are few”. Suzuki was describing how we can close down our experience when we think we know, when we engage in the world through our habitual thoughts and concepts and when we have a jaded sense that “we have seen it all before”.
