Being a carer can be very rewarding and fulfilling but sometimes when we are looking after someone, we may find that our life changes in all sorts of ways. We may feel that, bit by bit, we are losing control over our life because we are always being needed by someone else. We may find that constantly being on call as a carer affects our physical and emotional well-being with exhaustion and feelings of isolation, sadness, resentment and guilt.

​The good news is that practicing mindfulness meditation can help reverse the negative impact of stress on your body, cultivate more compassion for yourself and others, and even shrink your amygdala – the fear centre of your brain. Mindfulness is a great way to quieten your busy mind from time to time and help you manage stress. Mindfulness enables you to tap into your natural resilience. With mindfulness we learn to live in the present moment and examine what we are really thinking and feeling in each moment so that we can thrive through loving kindness and compassion.

Through learning to observe our emotions as they exists in the present moment, we can let go of needing to avoid our pain or get caught up in our stress, and we can then rediscover inner peace and joy for life.

This mindfulness course is free of charge to participants through funding provided by the Eric Liddell Centre.
