Hi there,

I have been teaching myself mindfulness for the last 2 years. The reason that I started was because of an illness. I did an online course initially and it opened up a whole new world of health and wellbeing and has become a amazing journey for me. My dream is to be able to teach others and I am currently training myself as much as I can. Unfortunately I have not had any experience of meditation or being mindful with other people and hope to put that right soon. In the meantime I am really pleased to have found this forum. Cheers to new friendships and knowledge.

p.s. please don't be offended if I do not post often or reply to something immediately . I am unable to type or write and have to use speech recognition - which takes a lot of time and patience!
