Living Mindfulness Course
Course Philosophy
The course teaches you various methods in a pragmatic and easy way so that you can integrate mindfulness more easily into everyday life. Easy-to-implement everyday tasks and exercises promote this transfer into daily life. The aim is for mindfulness to permeate all areas of life in the long term and to become a way of life that enables you to go through everyday life more calmly and consciously. You learn to deal with stressful influences and stress factors in a more appropriate and relaxed way and can face challenges with more serenity, clarity and acceptance.
Gain more wellbeing, greater satisfaction and more happyness through mindfulness. It helps you to enjoy life more consciously and to appreciate even small moments. Mindfulness can help you to recognize your own values and priorities more clearly.
Mindfulness course just for mums
Mothers’ everyday lives are often characterised by stress, responsibility and multitasking. Between bringing up children, housework, work and social commitments, there is little room for your own needs. This is exactly where mindfulness can help you- it enables mothers to live more consciously, calmly and balanced.
1. stress management and inner peace
Mindfulness helps mums to be less overwhelmed by stress. Through conscious breathing and mindful awareness of the moment, you can reduce stress reactions and deal with challenges more calmly.
2. more patience and calmness in everyday family life
Children often bring unexpected situations with them. Mindfulness promotes patience and prevents impulsive reactions. As a calm and present mother you can react to conflicts in a more relaxed way and create a more harmonious atmosphere.
3. more conscious time with your children
Mums are often already thinking about the next to-do while they are spending time with their children. Mindfulness helps you to be truly present and to experience moments together more intensively – which both strengthens the bond and increases your own well-being.
4. don’t forget self-care
Mums tend to put themselves last. Mindfulness is a reminder to listen to your own needs and take regular time-outs. A conscious moment for yourself can give you new energy.
5. be a role model for the children
Children learn by imitation. A mindful mother sets an example of how to deal with stress, recognise feelings and live consciously in the moment. In the long term, this can also help your children to become more mindful and emotionally balanced.
Mindfulness is a valuable tool for mums to face the challenges of everyday life with more calm, patience and joy. It strengthens your own well-being and has a positive effect on family life as a whole. Even small mindfulness rituals in everyday life can make a big difference.

The Living Mindfulness course is a stress management programme developed by Kirsten Tofahrn and Sabine Kessel in cooperation with the Techniker Krankenkasse health insurance company, which was scientifically accompanied by the University of Cologne. Various studies prove the positive influence of the training on health. The Living Mindfulness Method is based on globally recognised mindfulness trainings such as MBSR (mindfulness-based stress reduction), MSC (mindful self-compassion) and MBCT (mindfulness-based cognitive therapy).
In 2021, the course concept was recognised by the Central Prevention Testing Centre.
