Mindfulness
Mindfulness is simply awareness, it is practiced using meditation, noticing the breath and the senses to recognise what is happening in the present moment
You can also practice mindfulness in every day life as you walk, eat, work and have family time, in fact whatever you're doing you just need to be present in that moment. I use both as I teach Mindfulness.
So much of the time we are not present, for example we breathe around 22,000 times a day, how many are you aware of taking a breath?
Studies show that Mindfulness Helps With:
- Stress
- Anxiety
- Memory
- Pain
- Lowers Blood Pressure
- Sleep difficulties
- Depression
- Addictions
- PTSD
- Increases attention span
- Calms the mind and gives you some headspace.
"As long as you are breathing, there is more right with you than there is wrong, no matter how ill or how hopeless you may feel." -Jon Kabat-Zinn.
