Mindfulness Training
"Mindfulness is the basic human ability to be fully present, aware of where we are and what we're doing, and not overly reactive or overwhelmed by what's going on around us."
A mental state achieved by focusing one's awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting one's feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations.
What is Mindfulness Training?
An interesting thing about mindfulness is that it’s a quality that every human being already has, you just have to learn how to access it and strengthen it. Mindfulness has become somewhat of a “hot topic” in the Western world; however, it is a centuries old practice.
Being mindful helps:
- Reduce stress and anxiety
- Increase relaxation
- Enhance performance
- Gain insight and awareness through observing our own mind
- Increase attention to others’ well-being
- Suspend judgment and increase curiosity about our inner selves.
These are just a few of the many ways mindfulness is helpful. It has a strong scientific backing, with research supporting its positive impact on heart disease, lower blood pressure, reducing chronic pain, improving sleep, and alleviating gastrointestinal difficulties. If you search mindfulness, you will find never ending articles highlighting its benefits and how “life changing” it can be. I can go on and on explaining how beneficial it is; however, the more important point is “how do you do mindfulness?”
Mindfulness is inherent in almost all the work I do because it is central to healthy emotional and mental functioning. I offer Mindfulness Training as a service on it’s own due to how helpful it can be for anyone who is interested. We already have the ability to be present, and mindfulness doesn’t require us to change who we are. We can find and build these innate qualities with simple practices that are scientifically backed to benefit ourselves, our loved ones, our co-workers, and even the larger world we live in.
Although we all have the ability to be mindful, it can be difficult to figure out how to do it and to truly understand the somewhat abstract concept.
