Mindfulness

Mindfulness isn’t something you do. It’s a way of being.

Putting it into perspective, how many great moments have you missed because you happened to be on your phone?

Have you ever walked or driven somewhere only to wonder how you got there because your mind was on autopilot?

You found the recipe for that picture-perfect meal on Pinterest, but you hardly sat down to enjoy it.

Showering. Showering without noticing the feeling of the water on your skin?

In fact, a lot of the day to day things we do are done without full awareness.

Instead, mindfulness is living with appreciation and curiosity.

A mindful approach to things means you do not have to work out everything all at once. Instead, you just have to be aware and manage what’s happening in the moment.

Mindfulness is different from pushing away our thoughts and emotions. It's exploring how we react to our feelings, not facilitating their absence.

Many people wrongly believe that the aim of mindfulness is to deliberately clear the mind of thoughts when instead, it's about understanding how the mind functions.

Throughout the years where mindfulness has been

studied it's been suggested that over time, mindfulness practice

can bring about long term changes in a persons mood and levels of happiness.

Scientific studies have shown that mindfulness not only prevents depression but has positive affects upon the brain patterns when dealing with anxiety, stress,

depression and irritability

Sounds a bit out there? .. Well this ancient theory is as simple as taking a few moments to focus on yourself.

*A gentle reminder*

You have to remember that each and every one of us is unique. We all respond to things differently. With that in mind, what may work for some people... may not work for others.

It’s about finding what suits you. What you like and what you benefit from.

HOWEVER, If you are perhaps struggling with your mental health (on a large - or small scale) It's important you seek professional help of some kind.

We all experience various stressors throughout every day life - It's easy for people to get caught up in the pressure of limited time, ongoing responsibilities and commitments. Where so, people often forget to take time to manage stress and instead, it becomes overwhelming.

Please enjoy this short video explaining the idea behind mindfulness.

The Buddha taught that mental suffering arises out of ignorance. By “ignorance” he meant the mind’s misunderstanding of the nature of reality.

One of the main tools the Buddha taught for developing insight, is the ability to be fully aware in the moment.

The Buddha’s mindfulness has one purpose—the end of suffering. It encompasses all of life in order to purify the mind and bring wisdom, love, and equanimity to the center of our lives.

Mindfulness supports the moment-to-moment intention to not cause harm, to be kind, and to renounce those thoughts and actions that lead to heedlessness
