Understanding Mindfulness

There's been alot of buzz about Mindfulness and the science backs it up. But what is it really? How do you practice Mindfulness?

The practice of Mindfulness has been in existence for centuries and has its origins in Eastern philosophies. In the 1970s, Jon Kabat Ziin began to explore the clinical applications of mindfulness at the Stress Reduction Clinic at the University of Massachusetts Medical School and over the past 30 years, the study of Mindfulness practices has grown exponentially and researchers have studied the effects of mindfulness on our body, emotional and mental states.

Mindfulness is Paying Attention on Purpose In the Present without Judgement.

Mindfulness is not about emptying your mind from thoughts. That's impossible. Our human brain is constantly generating and processing information including thoughts. Rather than focusing on emptying the mind, we attempt to channel our awareness and attention to the present moment without getting caught up in the thoughts that may arise. Being able to witness yourself in that moment, in a state of simply being.
