About Mindfulness
Mindfulness practice offers an invitation to move towards greater balance, choice and participation in life.
Through mindfulness training we learn how to bring acceptance and curiosity to all of our experience – sensations, thoughts, emotions and actions, and the situation we are in. This way of seeing can free us up to respond with more clarity and wisdom, rather than acting out of habitual patterns.
It opens up the possibility of working more wisely and compassionately with difficulties in life and to choose what is nourishing for ourselves and others.
Put simply, mindfulness meditation is the practice of paying attention, on purpose, and with open-hearted curiosity, to the present moment – to what is happening in your body, your mind and in the world around you. Cultivating this ability to observe, without judgement, can help us to respond to our experiences with clarity and focus, rather than reacting out of old habits and patterns. This gives us good information about how to live with more authority and compassion with life’s challenges, so we can choose what is most nourishing, for ourselves and others.
Cultivating a regular mindfulness practice can help us move towards greater balance, choice and participation in our lives. It can give us the capacity to feel more curious, to live with greater acceptance, and to accept our thoughts, emotions, physical sensations and situation, without judging them as good or bad.
