Mindfulness is a way of paying attention to our experience so that we can see clearly what is happening from moment to moment, including body sensations, thoughts and emotions. When we know our experience more intimately we can then respond more wisely to the demands of life and the challenges that we may face.

​

Through paying attention non judgementally, and with curiosity and kindness, we can begin to create space to step away from our automatic physiological and emotional reactions to everyday events. While mindfulness has its roots in Buddhist meditation practices, it is now being embraced in western health care and medicine on it's own or as the basis of many therapeutic models.
