MINDFULNESS
Do you want to ...
Relate better to yourself and others?
Grow in self-esteem and self-awareness?
Live and stay focused in the now?
Become more resistant to stress and anxiety?
... If so, MINDFULNESS may be the answer for you!
Just as physical exercise is good for the body, so MEDITATION and MINDFULNESS can make positive neuro-physio-psychological changes to the mind as well as being good for the body.
Mindfulness, of which Mindfulness Meditation is an integral part, is the presence of a calm, alert, open, flexible, deliberate, "curious" but choiceless awareness of, and bare attention to, the action of one’s body, body functions, thoughts, sensations and feelings ... whatever comprises the action of the present moment. Mindfulness is not a religion or cult.
Mindfulness Meditation deals effectively with negative thoughts and emotions, pain, suffering and stress ... and thus “dis-ease”.
Mindfulness Meditation produces observable and measurable psycho-physical changes in both the body and the mind ...
