What is Mindfulness?
Mindfulness is open, embodied and kind awareness of present-moment experience. It is a particular way of paying direct and sustained attention to our inner world and the world around us, in order to engage fully with our lives while remaining balanced and steady. It helps us look behind our negativity and reactivity and relax deeply into ourselves, uncovering kindness and compassion towards ourselves and others.
Mindfulness is a proven way of increasing our happiness and reducing stress.
