Explaining Mindfulness
Is what’s happening in your life right now pulling you down? If you’re feeling anxious, a bit low at times or having trouble sleeping, learning Mindfulness skills can help you feel better in yourself and more positive about life generally. Mindfulness could indeed be the source of the solution you’re seeking.
In brief, Mindfulness is a way of self-exploration, noticing and observing how our minds’ work, which over time can help us have more control over our response to thoughts and emotions we have.
Scientific studies prove that practicing mindfulness meditation on a regular basis can help:
- Reduce anxiety
- Lower stress
- Build resilience
- Increase focus
- Build motivation
- Improve relationships
- Promote more restful sleep
- Boost your immune system
Learning mindfulness starts with cultivating ‘noticing’, which might sound strange as we believe we notice things all day long while we go about our day – but do we?
Did you know it’s said we spend up to 80% of our day on auto-pilot, ‘doing’ stuff without really noticing what we’re doing. When was the last time you drove somewhere while on auto pilot, thinking about something completely different than what’s going on from moment to moment on the road ahead?

A short animation about mindfulness
Are you your thoughts?
How in control of your thinking are you?
Two questions –
Q – Are you in control of your heart beat?
A – No, you are not. Your heart just does what it does without your conscious control.
Q – Are you in control of how you think?
A – No, you are not. Your mind controls the way you think, how you react to emotional triggers and your attitudes towards other people.
Past experiences influence how we react to things, which of course is perfectly natural, is it not? But, if your responses to thoughts, emotions, people or life events are causing you discomfort then Mindfulness training could provide a gentle way to lower those levels of discomfort.
Mindfulness training builds greater ability to lower angst levels accompanying how you respond to thoughts, emotions, people and life in general. Mindfulness can be a life changer.
