WHAT IS MINDFULNESS?

Mindfulness is a mental discipline that trains your attention to be in the present moment.
Mindful meditation is engaging the senses and connecting with our inner-awareness, by simply paying attention to the present moment.

Mindfulness is the most scientifically researched form of meditation today, recent research has found that mindfulness meditation practice promotes left frontal activity of the brain, the area associated with positive mood, and decreases activity in the amygdala, the stress centre of the brain.*
