FREE Mindfulness Course for Salford & Trafford Residents

Join us for a Mindfulness Course at Langworthy Cornerstone Community Centre, Salford. Across 3-weeks you will learn how to be present in the moment, reduce stress, and improve your overall wellbeing. This in-person event is a great opportunity to connect with others and focus on your mental health.

Clinical trials have shown that mindfulness meditation can be as effective as prescription painkillers, and can enhance the body’s natural healing systems. Mindfulness can also reduce the anxiety, depression, irritability, exhaustion, and insomnia that arises from chronic pain and illness.

This programme consists of scientifically-backed mindfulness and compassion techniques from over 30 years of experience dealing with health conditions.

The 3-week course will guide you through mindfulness meditations and simple daily practices to help you become more aware of your thoughts, feelings and the world around you. On leaving the course, you will have the tools to better manage your condition, allowing you to live a fuller and richer life.

Following the course, participants have reported:

• Being better able to manage their health
• Feeling able to do more and to enjoy life more
• Feeling less alone

• Skills to ease the suffering associated with pain, fatigue and ill health
• Mindfulness and compassion techniques for calm, concentration, pain relief, and happiness
• Tips from modern Chronic Pain management techniques to manage pain and health issues to improve your health and the quality of your life
• New strategies and approaches every week
