Mindfulness for Pain – Alison Bale

Alison teaches mindfulness and meditation to individuals and groups. She also trains mindfulness teachers. All of us face challenges and upheavals. Mindfulness can help us deal more skillfully and proactively with whatever life brings.

Alison has practised meditation for more than 25 years. Her journey came about from recognising the problems of an overthinking mind. A desire to stop the cycle of ruminating about the past and/or worrying about the future that takes joy from the present.

For her practice, she draws on neuroscience, neuroplasticity, pain science, evolutionary biology, epigenetics and emotional intelligence.  Her work is informed by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy, and traditional philosophy.
