What is Mindfulness ?
Mindfulness is a life skill which can help reconnect with ourselves and deepen our sense of well-being and fulfillment. It creates the conditions for a calm and present mind and helps cultivate self-acceptance and compassion. With mindfulness we learn how to be caring to ourselves, sensitive to our distress, tolerant of our feelings, understanding and non-judgmental.
Thousands of research studies have proven that mindfulness can build focus and awareness, improves memory and quality of sleep, thereby boosts the immune system and reduces the feeling of loneliness, stress and anxiety.
