Mindfulness Day Immersion – Maitland - CANCELLED
Event description
1-Day Mindfulness Immersion | Maitland
Mindfulness really does work. I am constantly delighted and surprised by the feedback from participants as to the depth of change in their lives from the tools and practical experience gained during the course.
It is common to nearly every human that our mind has a negative bias, catastrophises, is self-bullying, overstimulated, and worries excessively about past and future. As a whole, in this age, we have forgotten how to take ourselves less seriously, to play, and let go of external perceptions. So lets re-investigate how we can direct our mind for positive function!
PARTICIPANT REFLECTIONS
“The one day meditation retreat was just what my soul needed. It was a day of delving inside ourselves and exploring new concepts, and what came up from that personally was insightful, rewarding and at times surprising. Elisha is a very special human being, and her warmth, knowledge and approachability make her a fantastic teacher.”
— Lisa Dainty | 1-Day Mindfulness Retreat Aug 11

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
The benefits of Meditation and Mindfulness are measured and scientifically proven to regulate your body's homeostasis, that means, your body heals when you enter a state of calm. The more you practice staying in that state of calm the more your body self regulates, and the greater your level of awareness becomes to catch the minds tricks and tune into your intuitive wisdom! The inner critic and 'worrier' that takes up so much inner dialogue, is able able to be reprogrammed with practice and awareness
Psycho/Physical Benefits of Mindfulness & Meditation are immediate:

“I first met Elisha after I had had, and was in recuperation from, breast cancer treatment. The healing she did with me was exquisite, she has the singing voice of an angel and she transported me to a place of deep and powerful healing. No matter where you are on your life's journey, now is an opportunity to treat yourself to this beautiful experience of rest and healing.”
