The Breathworks Living Well with Pain and Illness Course is a self-management mindfulness-based programme aimed at anyone wanting to learn new strategies for managing chronic physical pain and ill health.
Pain and illness are innately unpleasant and inevitably many of us develop unhelpful habits in reaction such as aversion, avoidance and tension. This just adds to our overall experience of suffering. Mindfulness can help us break this cycle of reactivity and regain a sense of initiative, confidence and control. Paradoxically, by learning to live with our pain or illness we can broaden our perspective and experience a greatly improved quality of life.
Who is the programme for?
The programme is open to all on a self-referral basis. So far we have welcomed people with conditions such as chronic back pain, arthritis, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, post-operative pain, cancer, multiple sclerosis, parkinson’s disease, and other non-specific pain. This list is not exhaustive and we welcome your enquiry whatever your condition.
The only requirement for joining the course is a willingness and commitment to engage fully with the programme, which will involve practice at home between sessions for 30 - 45 minutes a day.
Price includes 3 CD's, workbook and day retreat
