Mindfulness can help us to increase our ability to regulate emotions, decrease stress ,anxiety and depression. It can also help us to focus our attention as well as to observe our thoughts and feelings without judgement. As we become more aware in our lives and in relation to others we become more alive and engaged. We develop the capability to harness our full potential towards our well-being and happiness.

Mindfulness is simply a state of being. Many people assume that it requires us to do something, when in fact, it is the art of doing nothing. It is a practice of being in the present moment. Mindfulness activities such as meditation, involve breathing and psychological techniques that create a sense of physical and mental calm allowing us to drop our autopilot mode. It enables us to pause our busy minds, reflect and refocus on the present .

Studies show that mindfulness practices yield benefits not only for one’s mental health(e.g. reduced stress and improved focus),but also for one’s physical well-being(e.g. improved sleep and overall health).In today’s day and age adults as well as children are often too busy. They find it hard to just ‘BE’, which can lead to anxious thoughts and restless minds. Resulting in stress, anxiety, pain, insomnia, lack of attention and focus, anger issues and a general “Dis-ease”.

Mindfulness provides “Ease” by helping us to slow down and get in touch with our mind and body. Anyone can engage in mindfulness meditation, it does not require too much alteration of our daily activities.
