As the benefits of Mindfulness practices are becoming more widely recognised, there is now a growing demand in schools and work places for Mindfulness training and trained Mindfulness facilitators.

Ongoing research into Mindfulness points to the need for all students to receive some form of mental training to fulfil their educational and personal potential.

In our fast paced world, where the increasing demands of living places enormous stress on all people, children, teenagers and adults, the purposeful, daily cultivation of minimising stress, self-regulation, connection to self, others and the world around us has been proven to assist mental, emotional and physical balance.

Take the guesswork and daunting research out of implementing a mindfulness strategy to help everyone enjoying a happier workplace.

It could be a daunting task to implement mindfulness into your school or workplace if you didn’t know where to start…

With this self-paced online course there is no need to ‘reinvent the wheel’ as its content has already been tested with students of all ages and in classrooms across New Zealand and with hundreds of teachers in New Zealand and Australia.

In this online certificate course you will not only be introduced to and learn the the powerful Mindfulness techniques that are helping individuals from all walks of life to have more balance and focus in their lives. You will also receive the tools and training to teach these techniques to anyone around you, including adults, students, children and elderly.

This course is based on the successful program Mindfulness in Australia and New Zealand has been running the past five years as well as latest research and techniques on teaching mindfulness designed by the original MBSR members who trained with Jon Kabat-Zinn.

The first part of the course is an 8 week foundation where you focus on establishing your own Mindfulness practice by listening to guiding audios and watching some instruction videos while keeping a daily mindfulness journal.

In your own time you will be introduced to and learn the powerful Mindfulness techniques that are helping individuals from all walks of life to have more balance and focus in their lives.

You will see for yourself that the ability to focus on one thing at a time is a skill and requires practice. Just as athletes train on a daily basis to maintain fitness and stamina, Mindfulness, which is a mental training, requires regular daily practice to experience the many well documented benefits especially of de-stressing, relaxing the body and generally self-managing in a new and empowering way.

Through guided, simple easy-to-do practices you are training the mind to be more present in the moment resulting in lowered anxiety, increased alertness anda being truly present in your life.

In the second part we will be looking carefully at the basic neuroscience; how purposefully connecting with the body’s self-calming para-sympathetic nervous system leads to- lower stress and anxiety, increased attention and mental clarity, improved social and emotional intelligence and a host of other life-enhancing benefits.

Teaching mindfulness is about guiding people to their own mindfulness practice. It’s about co-creating an environment where mindfulness can ‘happen’.
In this ‘safe space’ everyone has the ability to come into a deeper contact with who they really are by continually being offered the possibility of surrendering to the present moment, exactly as it is, without an agenda or expected outcome. That requires the shared intention of all present.

In this module you will learn, as the teacher/guide, how to use language, your voice, authority and authenticity to create an environment, where a deep trust between participants naturally arises and a sense of freedom and safety also.
To guide mindfulness is like nothing else, it is not teaching in a traditional sense, it is not therapy either. It is more like ‘uncluttering’ the over-filled, busy mind.

Establishing your own Mindfulness practice (part 1) and the fundamental understanding of how mindfulness works from a more scientific point of view, you will have built the foundation needed to effectively guide others on to their own mindfulness journey. You will find that you more easily can put into words experiences that are outside the tangible and ‘practical’.

We have just added a whole new section to the course. It is a 20 part video series recorded direct from live zoom trainings that takes you through a number of highly relevant topics such as Neuroplasticity & the Brain, The Thinking and the Observing Self, The Limbic System & Trauma Sensitive Mindfulness, How To Guide a Group, Interconnectivity, Cultivating Values, What it takes to become a trainer etc. There are interactions with the participants and guidance on how to develop your own mindfulness program and the requirements for becoming a successful facilitator.

We believe this addition of more than 3 hours of new content will take the course to a new level of usefulness and give you heaps of ideas for powerful exercises to use and how to setup your sessions in the most effective way.

In part 3 you are provided with detailed lesson plans that can be run as an 8 week block-study in the classroom or you can build your own lesson plans referencing this material. Each lesson can run for 30-40 minutes but this can be adapted as needed.

This 8 week programme has run extensively in schools for primary and secondary and only needs language-appropriate adjustments to cater ot each group. The lesson plans can be adapted for adult groups also, designed to raise all participants awareness of our relationship to our thoughts, feeling, others, the earth and recognising the emergence of the qualities of kindness, empathy and compassion over the 8 week period.The lessons build over the 8 weeks to week-by-week develop a deeper understanding of why mindfulness is such a wonderful, effective, self-regulating strategy.

You are never left on your own! if there is anything you don’t understand or need more explanation for, you can email the teacher personally at any time.

Mindfulness is not just some trend, but a proven method to help increase attention, focus and awareness, making it possible to self-regulate and shift attention when caught up in unhelpful thinking and worrying. Mindfulness exercises are designed to train our awareness and to develop the ability to stay calm under stress and turbulence as well as having better sleep and increasing resilience.

Harvard, Oxford and Stanford Universities offer Mindfulness courses as well as many companies such as Google and Intel.

There is no religion, dogma or beliefs attached to mindfulness. Mindfulness has it’s roots in many contemplative practices but doesn’t require or impose on anyones belief system. It’s a mental activity that has proven to be of great benefit for maintaining physical, mental and emotional balance.

The many benefits of Mindfulness have been well documented, especially in the past 30 years since Jon Kabat-Zinn established the Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction programme that has led to the wide-spread, acceptance of these practical exercises anyone can do.

Mindfulness practice doesn’t require any preparation or beforehand or knowledge of meditation. Anyone can experience the effects from these simple exercises.

It doesn’t matter if you never have meditated or done one mindfulness exercise in your life, this course is for anyone who wants to establish their own mindfulness practice and get the tools and resources to help others to improve focus, develop mental resilience and impulse control.

Mindfulness can’t be learnt by just talking or reading about it. Mindfulness is experiential. To be able to teach mindfulness you need to understand how it works from the inside out.

This course gives you the science, practices and tools to teach and help others and the inspiration guidance and methodology to establish a strong regular practice yourself.
