Mindfulness means maintaining a moment-by-moment awareness of our thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations and surroundings through a gentle, nurturing lens. Our thoughts tune into what we’re sensing in the present moment rather than rehashing the past or imagining the future.
Are you:
- Often lost in thought?
- Trapped in habits that don’t serve you?
- Not present with what you are engaged in?
- Losing connection to yourself and to what matters most?
We are often consumed in thought, worried about the future, dwelling on the past or lost in self-judgement. If this sounds like you, it’s time to pause and discover the potency of presence.
Why Mindfulness?
The persistent, conflicting demands of daily life lead to anxiety, stress and tension – but mindfulness can:
