Lunchtime Sessions

Stress is inevitable in the workplace but that doesn’t mean we have to suffer from it. Meditation is scientifically proven to reduce the effects of stress, increase performance, boost creativity and improve relationships in and outside of the workplace.
Here are a few examples of some topics that are perfect for these sessions but we can of course work with you to create a session (or a series of lunchtime sessions) to suit your group or organisation.
Stress Management
- How stress affects the body, when we need stress and when we don’t will be discussed
- Understanding how mindfulness can empower us to deal with our everyday lives in a much healthier way and letting go of stressors that are beyond our control
- I will bring staff through a guided meditation that they can practice every day
Self-Compassion for Modern Times
- The session will explore the science that shows that practicing self-compassion can help with reactions to stress and lowering anxiety
- Participants will learn about the benefits of taking a technology break and how to ‘hang out with ourselves’
- I will bring staff through a guided meditation to learn how to bring compassion into their everyday life

Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction
8-week Programme
Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) was developed by Dr Jon Kabat-Zinn at the Centre for Mindfulness in Medicine at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. It is an eight-week course that integrates mindfulness into your daily life.
The course consists of eight 2½ hour weekly classes, plus 1 full-day session towards the end of the programme.
Home practice is an integral part of this course and a daily commitment is required. Home practice consists of guided meditations and some written exercises.
- Guidance on mindfulness meditation practices such as body scanning and sitting meditation
- Gentle stretching and mindful movement (suitable for all regardless of fitness levels)
- Group discussions around experience of the different mindfulness tools
- Individual instructions aimed at assisting participants integrate mindfulness into everyday life
- Daily home practice
This programme is quite intensive but also life affirming and requires a degree of commitment to oneself to participate fully in all aspects of the programme over the 8-weeks.
Testimonials
See what others who attended my courses thought
“Having the opportunity to attend the course with Janet not only provided me with a resource for self-care and mindfulness but also provided me with new skills to help with the stress and anxiety of a busy fulltime job in healthcare.
Each week we were provided with novel ways of de-stressing and taking care of ourselves but I also enjoyed the opportunity to listen and share with the group.
Janet as facilitator was a pleasure to deal with and made us all feel relaxed and at ease, providing a safe and comforting place to share and learn from each other.
I highly recommend her workshops/courses as there really is something for everyone and you will find ways of coping with a busy life to suit your own schedule and needs.
Met some really great people on the course and great opportunity to learn from others”
“The Mindfulness course lead by Janet Cleary is a daily asset to me on so many levels, both personally and professionally. I have learned to use mindfulness as a resource to increase productivity and increased my awareness on how to self-care when there are stressors. Janet is an excellent teacher with a practical approach on how mindfulness can be used in real life challenges. As a physiotherapist, I have since noted the strong role mindfulness also has within my patient cohort in the management of breathlessness and chronic pain. Janet has further provided a Mindfulness session to the physiotherapy department in SJH which received such positive feedback.”
