Welcome to Mindful Lime

What do we do?  We run...

 

Qigong is a mind-body-spirit practice that moves and releases energy in the body.  Roughly translated, Qi - means 'energy' or 'spirit' - Gong - means 'work' - so we are working with our energy or our spirit.  It is a gentle form of healing and exercise and it involves movement and stillness.  It can be done standing or sitting and is suitable for people of all ages.

Qigong combines really well with Mindfulness - through these practices we can become much more in touch with our bodies, with our energy movement and the activity of our minds.  Observing these things and learning to work with them in a healthy way can be extremely transformative and can lead to improved health, relaxation and revitalisation.

So.... What is Mindfulness?

Mindfulness is 'the ability to pay attention, in a particular way, to the present moment.'
 

How can it help you?

Mindfulness is a skill that you can learn.  It is a little like learning to exercise a muscle at the gym - the more you practice Mindfulness, the easier it becomes.  When you have practised for a while, you'll find you can be more present in each living moment of your life.  

You may then find that you are enriching your life and becoming more aware of some of the enjoyable things that had previously gone unnoticed.  

Mindfulness can also give you a little more perspective on some of the daily problems that we all face.  Having a little distance from problems can help you gain perspective and to think more creatively about solutions.  Your relationship with an issue can change - letting fresher, cleaner thinking come into your mind.  Mindfulness can change the way you relate to a problem.

1-1 sessions and 1-2 sessions are available face to face, as well as sessions on Zoom.  

Please go to the 'Workshops' page for more information on the courses that we offer.  Ann is recording more videos of qigong forms and she has a presence on Instagram (@mindful_lime) and on facebook (@MindfulLime), where you can see updates and posts.
