Mindfulness is a mental state where we are consciously aware of the present moment, while being conscious of our thoughts, feelings and wider environment. The practice of mindfulness derives from meditation, which in turn has roots in the ancient Buddhist discipline of reflective contemplation. It is essentially about cultivating an awareness of the world around you, without excluding anything.

It was the answer to her emotional challenges.  Monique has chosen to become a Mindfulness Teacher Consultant in order to help others to find the answers their need to improve their life. When we become aware of what is the cause of our anxiety, stress and depression, we can learn to understand and heal the inside in order to be able to shine outside. If you are feeling overwhelmed at home or at work or feel unhappy with yourself in your life, we can help you to understand how mindfulness can completely transform your mind/mental and body/physical well-being. 

As a Mindfulness Teacher, Monique will teach you the mindfulness meditation and its many manifestations (body and senses, breathing, thoughts and emotions…) or if requested some natural alternatives therapeutic techniques (Sounds, Crystals, Colours or Reiki to balance your chakras) , introducing you to exercises, along with how to help you to embed mindfulness into your everyday lives. We offer one-to-one and group sessions in Mindfulness based practices.

Over time, mindfulness brings about long-term changes in mood and levels of happiness and well-being. Scientific studies have shown that mindfulness not only affects the brain patterns in a positive way but it can also prevent anxiety and depression.

Mindfulness teaches you to observe any thoughts as they come and go like clouds in the sky. With practise, you come to the understanding that thoughts and feelings are transient. Thoughts come and they go, and ultimately, you do have a choice about whether to act on them or not.

A good mindfulness practice involves adopting a neutral attitude toward one’s experiences in the present moment.
