What is Mindfulness
Mindfulness is a way of paying attention, in the present moment, to oneself, others and the world around us. It involves learning to direct attention to our experience as it unfolds, from moment to moment with acceptance, flexibility and curiosity. It is a natural state of mind, focused, present and aware. This open minded way of paying attention to our experience in the present moment, supports us to develop healthier and more compassionate responses to ourselves, as well as to situations and events in our lives.
