What is Mindfulness?

The research about Mindfulness is plentiful. Studies show that regularly practicing mindfulness contributes to personal health, happiness, resiliency and effectiveness. When we are ‘present’ and in this moment (i.e. Mindful), we can respond and deal with whatever is happening; instead of reacting or worrying about what has happened or might happen.

The practice of Mindfulness is cultivated and enhanced through Meditation – of which there are numerous forms. During meditation there is an opportunity to detach from everyday concerns, worries and stresses, to give ourselves time to stop, breathe, regroup and recharge. When we regularly meditate we feel calmer, more at ease, have peace of mind and find greater inner balance.  More about the practice of meditation here​
