Mindfulness.
What is mindfulness? And, why would you want to bother to learn about it?
Mindfulness is the act of being aware through your senses. It is not meditation, though one would use mindfulness during meditation. The worthiness of developing the capacity to be aware of one's sensory experience results in robust:
-
clarity,
-
emotional intelligence, and
-
increased ability to manage difficulties
​
The jury's out: mindfulness is not just for meditators or for retreats or even for those last 10 minutes in yoga in savasana. It is available for all to learn the transformative practice of applying mindfulness to everyday moments and how anyone, even those with rapid-firing thoughts and emotions, can raise their awareness and learn to become more mindful.
