What is Mindfulness?
The practice of mindfulness is universal, and has been used for thousands of years. Mindfulness is an invitation to live in the present moment, and open up to the fullness of our lives. We become aware that this moment is the only moment we have, and taking care of this moment can have an amazing impact on the next moment, and indeed our future.
With mindfulness, we are concerned with what’s arising in the present moment. When thoughts about the past or future take our attention away from our present moment experience and we try to become aware of this and gently escort our minds back to what is emerging in the present. It is about “falling awake”.
By purposefully directing our awareness away from thoughts and towards the “home base” or our present moment experience, we lessen the effect our thoughts can have on our lives and we create instead a space of awareness where peace and ease can grow. Underpinning all of this is a sense of compassion for ourselves.
