Mindfulness Meditation

What it is and why you should get around it!

Mindfulness meditation is a form of mental training that

supports the mind to be more focused, clear and effective. It is the practice of bringing your full attention to the present moment in an open, non-judgemental way.

This powerful tool can help us upgrade our inner technology – the mind, to keep up with and adapt to the demands of our increasingly complex world.

"Mindfulness is about being fully awake in our lives. It is about

perceiving the exquisite vividness of Each moment." Jon Kabat-Zinn
