Mindfulness:

So what is mindfulness? In its simplest form, mindfulness means awareness. Practising mindfulness offers a way to pay attention to the present moment, without judgement. The origins of mindfulness sit firmly in Buddhism but it is increasingly taught in a secular form.

Health benefits:

• Reduce stress, anxiety and conflict
• Lower blood pressure
• Reduce chronic pain
• Improve sleep
• Increase resilience and emotional intelligence
• Improving communication at work.

Being:

‘Being’ is the term we give to the state of mind when you have a neutral and accepting awareness and attention to what is happening in the present moment.

Although you can never totally empty your mind of the ‘back chat’ of thoughts, through practising the techniques of the Mindfulness we gain better awareness to ease these thoughts.

By being in the present moment, you have the opportunity to feel more fully alive; noticing the tug of the past and future, but focussed more completely on the present and its potential.
