MB-ACT is Mindfulness-Based Awareness and compassion training

-



MB-ACT

Mindfulness Based
Awareness & Compassion Training


Awareness quiets the mind ~ allowing for clarity and balance.
Compassion opens our hearts ~ to ourselves and others.



MB-ACT PRACTICE can help you:
  • Quiet the busyness of your multi-task mind
  • Handle emotional challenges as they arise
  • Unravel the urges of emotional eating and substance misuse
  • Respond with more balance to distressing mood swings
  • Replace self-criticism with self-compassion

Learning to be Aware in the present and Compassionate toward ourselves and others, allows us the clarity to Act more intentionally and respond more skillfully to difficult emotional states including:

Anxiety ~ depression ~ addictive urges ~ relationship challenges.

ACT is a six-week group workshop offering skills and group support toward building awareness and compassion through mindfulness meditation, inner reflection and guided group imagery.

Mindfulness meditation helps us clearly see and experience, with an observer’s perspective, what’s happening in the moment. It helps us quiet the harsh voice of self-judgment and open to new ways of responding to moods, thoughts, addictions and struggles with others.
