What is Mindfulness?

The Mindfulness Association’s (MA) working definition of mindfulness is:

 

” K n o w i n g  w h a t   is

h a p p e n i n g

w h i l e   i t   i s

h a p p e n i n g,

w i t h o u t

p r e f e r e n c e.”

 

 

P a u s e   f o r   a   m o m e n t

 

“As you sit and read this, you can choose to be mindful. You can choose to come into the present moment and know you are sitting here, while you are sitting here.

Spend a moment just becoming aware of your experience as you sit here: any thoughts passing through the mind, any emotion you are experiencing now and any physical sensations you can feel in the body.

Becoming aware of our experience relates directly to the ‘knowing what is happening while it is happening element of our definition.” (MA)

elementas works with this definition and dovetails a mindfulness and compassionate approach to coaching and business mentoring services. Clients are shown simple tools and skilfully facilitated to be more familiar with their minds and their habitual tendencies. As a result, clients recognise they have more choice and are more motivated to make better work and life decisions.

elementas coaching sessions offer a unique process, safe space and approach for lasting change and powerful growth.

Mindfulness can also bring greater awareness of the elements of our life bringing integrated Wellness, be that physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. Mindfulness is a bridge to the healing power of Self-Compassion. 

 

“With self-compassion, we give ourselves the same kindness and care we’d give to a good friend” Dr Kristen Neff

 

Lou Booth’s Mindfulness Experience and Training

With Lou you are in safe hands. In 2015 Lou started a three-year training pathway to mindfulness, compassion, and insights, as a practitioner with the Mindfulness Association, which she successfully completed in June 2018.

As a coach, Lou encourages people to step out of their own comfort zone and ‘walked her talk’ . She has just successfully completed year 1, of a three-year MSc in Mindfulness with the University of Aberdeen (equivalent to a Postgraduate Certificate in Mindfulness).

Here, her richer understanding of mindfulness and compassion is flourishing,  building new ideas and techniques to deliver the practical benefits of mindfulness daily to individuals, teams, and organisations.

Lou enjoys “witnessing the changes mindfulness brings to peoples’ lives” and is committed to her personal daily mindfulness practice, weekly MA practitioner’s mediation, sharing good practice with clients and colleagues.
