What is Mindfulness?
Mindfulness is the practice of cultivating non-judgemental awareness in day-to-day life.
Mindfulness develops the potential to experience each moment, no matter how difficult or intense, with serenity and clarity. One can feel more alive and gain immediate access to powerful inner resources for healing. Participants learn life-long tools to help maximize life, even in the midst of stress, pain and illness.
The practice consists of paying close attention to the mind and body and recognizing any underlying habitual patterns of separation, isolation and lack of self-esteem which may manifest itself in physical sensations, emotions and thoughts. We practice mindfulness meditaton to further develop new options, become more present and to live life more meaningfully.
Mindfulness programs teach participants the skills to cultivate deeper levels of insight and compassion and to take more responsibility for their health and well being.
These programs enable participants to become more active in the management of their own health which, in itself, may help to reduce physical and mental stress as a contributing factor in disease.
