About the Course

This is the sequel course to Foundations of Mindfulness that will continue to provide a broad overview of the fundamental concepts, principles, and practices of mindfulness. With interactive exercises to help students explore their own attitudes, mental habits and behaviors, Foundations of Mindfulness series offers a pathway for living with more freedom, authenticity and ease. Featured components of the course include experiential exercises, guided meditations, personal reflection and interactive discussions. Living with Balance and Ease will not only cover some of the fundamentals of mindfulness, but will focus on connecting to the innate resources and abilities that will allow for a more effective response to life's challenges, build resiliency, and invite peace and ease into everyday life. Although this course can be taken as a standalone, it is recommended to take the first Foundations of Mindfulness course before beginning this course....

Overall an excllent introductory course, that I have really enjoyed. Sometimes I wished more theory behind it and potentially more detals and practical tips for a meditation practice. Nevertheless, the content and way the course was designed is excellent. Looking forward to more.

Awesome, lovely, beautiful, very worth my while. Take your time with it...I did not rush through, gave myself a full week for each one. Benefits to doing so are important, this is not simply about completing. Amazing Course instructor...she is so kind and personable.
