What is Mindfulness?

Mindfulness is paying attention on purpose, in the present moment, to yourself, and the world around you. Mindfulness comes from 2500 year old Buddhist meditative traditions, and has been adapted for more secular applications. Scientific investigation over the past 40 years has shown how it can change the structure of the brain. Anyone can practice mindfulness, it doesn't require any fancy equipment or apparatus.
Practicing mindfulness allows you to change your relationship with your thoughts and feelings, so you can have more control over your life. ​

An array of Scientific studies have shown that Mindfulness training helps with:
  • Stress
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Addictive behaviours
  • Heart disease
  • Chronic pain
  • Attention & concentration
  • Emotional intelligence

Those completing a course of mindfulness training report:
  • Feeling more calm
  • Having an increased sense of control over their lives
  • Having better relationships
  • Experiencing more enjoyment in life 

Given the benefits on offer, it's hard to think of any reason not to give mindfulness training a go.

'Take 5'
​Mindfulness Meditations

The 'Take 5' meditations are designed to introduce you to Mindfulness Meditation. Being Present is a quick exercise to introduce you to the concept of focused attention. Finding the Breath, Being the Mountain, and Touch Points are different ways of finding your 'anchor'. Your anchor is the place of calm and stillness within you that you can return to whenever you feel you need it. Try out each of the recordings, and see which method suits you best, then make it a part of your day, so you can remain grounded and calm for whatever life brings you.
