Mindfulness is a special way of paying attention that can help with how we cope with everyday life or deal with tough times, and also there are great benefits for our physical and mental health. Mindfulness is about preparing yourself to pay attention in a specific way.
We spent so much time thinking over stuff that has happened in the past, or worrying over things that might happen in the future, that often we actually forget to appreciate or enjoy the moment. Mindfulness is a method for taking us back to experience life as it happens
If we start to think about the thought, or get annoyed with ourselves for not being able to retain our focus, it stops us paying attention and takes us away from the present moment. If we just acknowledge the thought and let it go without judgement , we retain our focus on being in the present moment
Thousands of scientific researches prove that the practice of Mindfulness enhances mental and physical wellbeing. Anxiety, stress, depressionand irritability were seen to decrease with regular sessions of Mindfulness practices. Improvement in memory, mental and physical stamina have also been noticed. Research also proved that Mindfulness can reduce pain dramatically and regulate emotions. Improvement in Emotional Intelligence, working memory, creativity and attention span have also been recorded. In brain scans, it was shown that grey matter in areas associated with self-awareness increased and also with empathy, self-control and attention. Apart from these many other benefits have also been reported as a result of Mindfulness practices.

Read more about usThere is a lot of evidence on the many benefits of mindfulness.
Being mindful makes it easier to savor the delights in life as they happen, helps individuals to completely engage in activities, and creates a more capacity to deal with adverse events.
By focusing on the here and now, numerous individuals who practice mindfulness find that they are less likely to caught up in worries about the future or regrets over the past, are less preoccupied with concerns about success and self-esteem, and are better able to form profound connections with others.
There is positive connection between Happiness and Mindfulness too. Mindfulness practitioners have reported being happier after a few weeks of practice.
If greater well-being isn't sufficient of an incentive, researchers have discovered the benefits of mindfulness techniques enhance physical health in various ways.
Mindfulness can help relieve stress, treat heart disease, lower blood pressure, reduce chronic pain, improve sleep and alleviate gastrointestinal difficulties.
In recent years, psychotherapists have turned to mindfulness meditation as a critical element in the treatment of various issues, including depression, substance abuse, eating disorders, couples’ conflicts, anxiety disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Some experts believe that mindfulness works, in part, by helping people to accept their experiences—including painful feelings—instead of responding to them with aversion and avoidance.
It has turned out to be progressively common for mindfulness meditation to be combined with psychotherapy, especially cognitive behavioral therapy. This advancement bodes well, since both meditation and cognitive behavioral therapy share the common goal of helping people gain perspective on unreasonable, maladaptive, and self-defeating thoughts.
Mindfulness is something that everybody can develop, and it's something that everyone can try. It has been practiced for the past 40 years as a secular practice in spite of its origins in Eastern philosophy. Individuals can increase their Mindfulness in everyday life, through activities such as meditation, or even by simply paying more attention during regular activities like walking, driving, eating or something as basic as brushing your teeth.

No matter whether you are a beginner to the practice of mindfulness or someone who has completed the 8-week Foundation program and are looking for more advanced mindfulness training, we offer programs which suits your background.
