There are many routes into learning mindfulness.
A number of factors will influence which you choose: whether you suffer from recurrent depression, stress and anxiety, or if you just want to improve your general wellbeing or if your long-term intention is to be able to teach MBCT. And of course, it will also depend on where you live.
We recommend that you seek an 8-week programme locally. In the UK the Mental Health Foundation website www.bemindful.co.uk has an interactive map of courses throughout the UK.
At the Oxford Mindfulness Centre, we provide programmes specifically designed for people with depression and/or anxiety disorders who are referred by their doctor. For more about these programmes read on…
