What is Mindfulness?
In place of this strange word ‘Mindfulness’ we can use the words ‘Awareness’ or ‘Presence’ and capture something of the same meaning. Mindfulness is not this mystical thing that you only get when you sit cross-legged on mountain tops. You will already be ‘doing’ Mindfulness without even knowing it. For example, we can all be aware and we can all feel presence, and in fact we might say frequently about ourselves that we are ‘aware’ or that we are ‘present’ at any given time without trying to be. Mindfulness is simply this; an universally experienced human ability to be aware of oneself in the present moment, non-judgmentally; something we are all already doing at different times in our lives without even knowing in those moments we are being ‘Mindful’
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction
The Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) workshop is a structured 8-week workshop teaching a variety of Mindfulness practices and concepts, helping you live in the moment more with increased presence and ease. The workshop teaches how to become more Mindful in daily living and how to regulate your reactions to stress and stressful situations, becoming more resilient and perhaps more compassionate towards yourself and others as a result.
