Mindfulness programme for mental well-being Stress Management — Mindfulness Meditation

For anyone wanting to reduce the amount and intensity of stress in his or her daily life, we provide mindfulness meditation coaching. We can teach you how to "keep it together" under stress wherever you are and whatever you do. In only a few sessions, we will lead you through a safe and systematically structured learning experience, which will allow you to familiarize yourself with the necessary skills through guided practice and discussions. You will also receive a free manual for you to keep for future reference.

Our mindfulness coach has been trained by Dr Jim Carmody (Director of research) of the Centre for Mindfulness (founded by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn, Massachusetts University, USA). He also has more than 20 years of personal experience and practise with mindfulness meditation.

Mindfulness: "The undivided and non-judgmental awareness of what happens in us and around us in this moment"


Mindfulness is THE antidote to the otherwise automatically unfolding process of unhelpful reactions to stressful life events. These reactions represent natural self-protection mechanisms ("flight or fight or freeze"), which — unfortunately — turn against us when constantly triggered by today's stressful environment.

Mindfulness is a powerful combination of technical skills around controlling one's awareness and attention together with a set of positive attitudes that one needs to bring to the practice and application of these technical skills.

Mindfulness skills allow you to "rise above" your automatic survival reactions and to take full control over your experiences and actions.

Focusing your awareness in this way will also allow you to savour the pleasant moments of your life to their fullest extent and to create vivid memories, which will last a lifetime!

Mindfulness-Based Stress-Reduction on the web:
Mindfulness as a search word will result in a variety of hits. Many of those will refer to spiritually based approaches, which may or may not be of use for you. These internet resources focus on mindfulness as practiced and studied from a western and scientific viewpoint. (Also see the research section on this page):

Centre for mindfulness (Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn, Massachusetts University)

Dr. Kabat-Zinn is the founder of Mindfulness-Based-Stress-Reduction as a skills training since the late 1970s and has been a worldwide recognized leading figure in this field since.
