Mindfulness is a very simple form of meditation. Our Focus Ten mindfulness technique is adapted to meet the identified needs of the attendees we are working with, making it age/ability appropriate.
By starting each session with Focus Ten attendees are in a relaxed state of alertness with their minds focused on action and fixed on the session.
Mindfulness is about being constantly aware of your body, mind and surroundings without stressing yourself.
By practising and understanding how to control emotions and behaviour, people can choose to live life intentionally, acting with purpose to a goal, rather than mindlessly falling victim to whatever comes their way. It is about observation without criticism.
95% of all the feedback from all the schools (Primary – Further Education) that use our programmes talk about the benefits our Mindfulness audio’s have had on the pupils.
One year 6 pupil said ‘that mindfulness thing is amazing, I am able to do it now and I love it’

"The sessions focus on self-awareness, planning, organising, and problem-solving. Pupils were supported to prepare for the successes and failures they will face; discovering how to focus on the positives along the way. Pupils gave feedback on their experiences and gave comments such as: "I think I will benefit a lot from learning how to control my anxiety and I won’t get anxious about my exams"
