Mindfulness Meditation

WHAT IS MINDFULNESS MEDITATION?

Mindfulness is a form of meditation that trains us to be present in each moment with awareness. Mindfulness practice raises our awareness of the present moment, of our bodies, and our environment and allows us to connect with these more deeply. Mindfulness meditation is not a breathing exercise; it is really an exercise in training your awareness and in focusing attention. By practicing mindfulness you learn to observe your breath, your body, your emotions, and your mind. It quiets the mind, and when times are difficult it can allow us to have more courage to experience what life sends our way.
