Relief from seasonal stress

THAT Christmas can be a stressful time is common knowledge. But what you might not know is there are many ways to gain relief.
One of the more novel ways could be attending the Buddhist Centre in Upwey, which, over the Christmas period is offering free courses on mindfulness and meditation.
Frank Carter from the centre said: “Mindfulness and meditation have become subjects of interest to many people due to our often busy and stressful lifestyles. Our course is offered at no charge to the public, and is scheduled during a period when people are most likely to have some free time to participate.”
