With Helen Pengelly

Healing is about more than treating symptoms; it’s also about creating the space for your body and mind to recover. In this course, you'll discover practical meditation techniques to support you through illness, injury, physical pain, and emotional challenges. Drawing on personal experience and mindfulness practices, you'll learn how to slow down, cultivate trust in your body's natural healing abilities, work with pain more skilfully, and respond to difficult thoughts and emotions with greater compassion. Please note: This course complements, but does not replace, professional medical advice or treatment.
