WhY Mindfulness?
Mindfulness science studies showed an improved regulation of emotions and anxiety & sleep disorders. MINDFULNESS is part of a variety of clinical treatments.
Stress is an ongoing topic in our life. Minor stress can add up during the day and acute stress can become chronic stress. Hyperarousal may be a chronic state of body and mind and exhaustion follows any time soon. A continuously activated Sympathetic Nervous System through stress can become a chronic state leading to Depression, Cardiac Arrythmia, Inflammation, chronic pain or sleep disorders: Dr. Jon Kabat Zinn: Full Catastrophe Living 1990. Stress leads to individually different physical and psychological symptoms that all respond to Mindfulness.
For whom is a Mindfulness class? Actually for everyone who wants to be prepared for difficult life situations, in which we normally tend to lose our balance without support. Additionally for everyone who wants to learn to cope better with stress in daily life.
This class is not a Psychotherapy, but it can be a good idea to visit a Mindfulness class, if you are waiting for your Psychotherapy.We follow the rules for TSM, Trauma sensitive Mindfulness (David A. Treleaven) to protect all our participants when practicing at home or in a digital setting. Please read our Health Questionnaire and send it to us, so that we can be sure that everyone attending this class gets the right support.
Your Teacher is Director at NL MINDFUL & Publisher of NL MAGAZINE Melanie Kettner. She studied Psycholinguistics and has attended several Classes and Meditation lectures at the Mindfulness Research of the University of Los Angeles. She is Heilpraktiker for Psychotherapy. More here.

WEEK 1: MINDFUL BREATHING

WEEK 2: A MINDFUL MORNING
In week 2 we explore a Mindful Morning: We take the Japanese Culture as inspiration for our Tea Mind Meditation and we get to know the Principles of Mindfulness of Dr. Jon Kabat Zinn and how to apply them to our Mindfulness practice.
WEEK 3: MINDFUL MOVEMENT
In week 4 we explore Mindfulness in Movement. We practice Mindful Movement and Walking Meditation. We learn to use both in daily life. Mindfulness in Movement is a good alternative for those who do not like the Sitting Meditation and we gain more opportunities to practice Mindfulness in Daily Life.
WEEK 4: MINDFUL RESPONDING
In week 3 we explore how thoughts influence our stress level. We learn the Mindful Responding steps to respond to stressful events in life better. We practice a Mountain Meditation to get in touch with our own strength and Resilience.We get a list of Mindfulness Inspiration, especially helpful for those who prefer to have a break after week 4.
WEEK 5: ALLOWING THE RAIN
In week 5 we get to know the “Willingness to be with what is” (Diana Winston): Allowing the rain to be here. You get a Stress Screening you can send us back. We talk about Dr. Jon Kabat Zinn’s “Guesthouse” attitude when facing difficulties and practice a “Guesthouse” Meditation.
WEEK 6: KINDNESS
In week 6 we look closer at the biological stress reaction of our nervous system. We explore how Mindfulness & Kindness belong together. We practice a Kindness Meditation for others and for ourselves. Participants who want to practice with physical pain get Informations and the Meditation “Safeplace”.
WEEK 7: BACK TO BASICS
In week 7 we summarize the essentials of a Mindfulness Practice and we are going back to Basics with a simple Mindfulness. We develop a personal Mindfulness Bells list developed by Prof. Mark Williams at Oxford University.
WEEK 8: MINDFULNESS BELLS
In week 8 We learn how to create a Mindfulness Parachute developed by Dr. Jon Kabat Zinn that protects us when times get tough in life. We get the poem “Hokusai Says” by Roger Keyes, especially for our participants.
After week 4 of NL MINDFUL we offer our participants a break of 2 weeks or 4 weeks to gain more time for their studies. You chose by just sending us a message. One week after the class has finished your Mindfulness Teacher is still responding your questions to get sure everyone gets a smooth transition to working with Mindfulness by themselves.We stay in touch with our participants later on, if questions arise.
