Using the Power of your Mind
En Español, Italiano. "Transformative Mindfulness adds new dimensions to existing mindfulness-based treatment programs in relation to understanding and working with painful experiences in both body and mind." Transformative Mindfulness can be facilitated with people with no prior experience with it and it can work very quickly - as well as in a group setting...I really do think that it can also workd asa community building and consciousness exercise.

“Dekyi-Lee Oldershaw’s training gives insight and an initial experience of a method which seems simpler and less demanding of clients than the most widely used mindfulness-based therapies (MBSR / MBCT). One can see that Dekyi-Lee speaks from personal experience with many patients, is warm and welcoming, and not least, she sincerely practices what she offers us to learn "

One of the causes of many of our problems can be found in the mind, as a reaction to a past experience or a confused attitude. These lend themselves to sickness later. Once we allow this to change, healing can often take place and we know what we need to do next.
There are different levels of healing. The further back in the causal chain of events we can address a problem, the more powerful the healing can be. The physical manifestation of the problem – the symptom – is addressed by your doctors. But if it is only treated at the physical level, then the patients’ improvement is less than it could be and the illness is more likely to recur, either in the same form or in a different one. - Dr. Dean Ornish
It is up to you – your mind. And you can do this easily, gently and at home. Many people from around the world have used these simple visualizations, meditations and exercises to change their response and experience of symptoms with everything from simple headaches and migraines to terminally diagnosed illness. They have transformed the pain of losing a relationship or loved one and have used it to finding clarity at a time of crossroads in their lives. Anyone who can imagine the location of their next holiday can use the same inner ability of visualization to benefit from these exercises. So try them, more than once. We want anyone, anywhere, with any problem to lessen their suffering and become more accepting, happier and lighter now. That is why you can read these and also print them for free, to use for yourself or to help others. If you prefer to relax and experience these, you can also order them on CD on our shop page.
