Mindfulness
Mindfulness is the state of active, open attention to the present. If Mindfulness is a word you’ve heard before defined by meditation, I want to help you understand it is much more than just meditation. The intentional act of being present may seem so simple yet it is so incredibly impactful. Some, including me, say it’s the secret to life. Learning from my own personal practice and the practice of others’ as well as the surmounting scientific research, it is evident Mindfulness is a game-changer for our physical and emotional health.
Below you will find many resources to aid your journey of mindfulness.
