Although mindfulness has only recently been embraced by Western psychology, it is an ancient practice found in a wide range of Eastern philosophies, including Buddhism, Taoism and Yoga.
Mindfulness involves consciously bringing awareness to your here-and-now with openness, interest and receptiveness while focusing on your mind on the present.
It’s the art of paying attention to your life on purpose, without judgment.
Mindfulness interventions have been demonstrated to be beneficial for a number of psychological and physical conditions such as chronic pain, depression, anxiety, addictions and personality disorders.
It has also proven to be a powerful factor in reducing stress both in children and adults.
