Mindfulness is about living in the moment, and paying attention to what’s happening here and now (i.e. sensations, thoughts and emotions) in a non-judgemental way. It is powerful because it can interrupt the habit of getting lost in thoughts, mostly about the past or future, which often generates more stress on top of the real pressures of everyday life and work. With practice, mindfulness can serve as the perfect antidote to healing stress that can sometimes undermine our health, performance and quality of life, and can provide relaxation. Research in the last two decades has shown that it can be an effective aid in the treatment of many mental and physical health issues.
