Christian Mindfulness Practice Session

Anne Williams is an experienced therapist, specialising in helping people overcome anxiety, fears & phobias, and depression, and manage stress and stress-related conditions, particularly IBS.  She runs Christian Therapy UK, based in Hampton.  Anne first trained in mindfulness as part of her therapy training and then did further training in mindfulness at Birkbeck College, University of London and with Breathworks.  She has seen the effectiveness of mindfulness in helping deal with stress, anxiety, depression, sleep problems and a range of other issues from her own experience and that of her clients.  She always highly recommends practising mindfulness to her clients and practises regularly herself.Anne was concerned that Christians were missing out on the positive impact of mindfulness for health and well being.  She also realised the immense potential of mindfulness as a spiritual tool to bring healing and wholeness through a greater awareness of God and openness to the Holy Spirit.  Because of this, she began running Christian mindfulness workshops in 2014, quickly followed by a regular Christian Mindfulness Practice Group at St Paul's Church, Kingston Hill, which was meetiing every 4 to 6 weeks before lockdown.  She is currently a member of Riverside Vineyard Church, Feltham.

Take a break from the busyness of life and come along for an hour to still your mind and enjoy an oasis of calm.Regular practice of mindfulness has been shown to bring profound benefits for health and wellbeing, particularly helping with anxiety, stress, depression and chronic pain. When practised in a Christian context, it can become a contemplative spiritual discipline, helping us to be more aware of the presence of God.This session is an opportunity to practise mindfulness in a Christian context, with different mindfulness exercises and Christian meditations.  It helps to have some experience of mindfulness, but it isn't essential.  The Zoom link to join the meeting will be e-mailed to you once you have booked.This session is for you, if you:<ul><li>Long for some time to be still and regain a sense of calm to connect with God</li><li>Want to learn how to renew your mind and let go of negative thoughts, worries and anxiety</li><li>Struggle with the stresses of work, family commitments and pressured pace of life</li></ul>This session is also for you if:<ul><li>You're curious about how mindfulness can really help deal with stress, anxiety and depression</li><li>You find it difficult to concentrate on mindfulness on your own and would like the support of a guided group</li><li>You've done some secular mindfulness, but want the greater spiritual depth of practising it in a Christian context</li></ul>Here's what participants have to say:'I really enjoy Anne's mindfulness sessions. She creates a calm and meditative atmosphere and I am learning to concentrate and remain in the moment. Her voice is soothing and yet gently probing; helping us to block out extraneous thoughts. I always emerge with my back straighter to find a world that I seem to see afresh.' Alison B'Since starting to practise mindfulness and coming to the group, I have found I am able to stop, look and listen to life around me, realise that this is “now” and all there is. It steadies my thoughts and improves my ability to make decisions. It is good to sit quietly with others who are doing the same exercise. The discipline of being led in contemplation is so much easier that when practising alone. It has certainly led me into a steadier and more “right thinking” attitude to life.' Carole
