What is mindfulness?

Mindfulness involves maintaining a moment-to-moment awareness of our thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and the surrounding environment. It is an active and open attention to the present moment, allowing us to carefully observe our thoughts and emotions without passing judgment on them as either good or bad. Instead of letting life pass by unnoticed, mindfulness encourages living in the present and becoming fully aware of our current experiences, steering away from dwelling on the past or fixating on the future.

Engaging in mindfulness practices serves as an invitation to enhance balance, choice, and active participation in life. By cultivating skills, attitudes, and knowledge, individuals learn how to approach all aspects of their experience – including sensations, thoughts, emotions, and actions – with acceptance and curiosity. This perspective liberates individuals from habitual patterns, enabling them to respond to situations with greater clarity and wisdom. Mindfulness opens up the possibility of taking more authority in our lives, allowing for wise and compassionate responses to life’s challenges, ultimately enabling us to make choices that are nourishing for ourselves and those around us.
