What is Mindfulness?

Minfulness is a concept that signifies a higher level of concious awareness. It is often described as a state of “being” as opposed to “doing” which involves observing external events aswell as internal experiences as they occur.

Mindfulness has been described as:

“Paying attention in a particular way: on purpose, in the present moment, and nonjudgmentally… it is an appreciation for the present moment and the cultivation of an intimate relationship with it through a continual attending to it with care and discernment.” (Kabat-Zinn, 1994: 8–9).

Extensive research on Mindfulness has shown that it can benefit our physical and mental well being in multiple ways, including: stress reduction, alleviation of anxiety and depression, reduced fatigue and increase vitality, improving concentration and performance, and increased resilience. It can also help in managing a variety of health issues, including pain, eating problems, sleep disturbances, high blood pressure, asthma, and even skin disorders.
