What is Mindfulness?
Mindfulness is a meditative practice that encourages awareness of the mind’s ability to quiet itself in order to facilitate a deeper connection to the body and spirit. It allows us to experience more vital energy and a sense of greater well being.  Mindfulness can be a profound tool to master when dealing with physical or emotional distress, as well as people who want to expand their spirituality.

What  conditions respond to Mindfulness practice?
Individuals looking to enhance the health of their mind and body will  benefit from this practice. However, it is particularly useful to those who are facing a high level of stress, chronic physical pain, emotional pain and suffering, trauma or crisis, and grieving and loss. It is also recommended for anyone coping with:

• Depression
• Anxiety or Panic
• Gastrointestinal Disorders
• Sleep difficulties
• Cancer
• Chronic debilitating conditions

 How does Mindfulness aid in Stress Reduction?
Mindfulness practice includes a variety of learned skills and strategies that support stress management. These techniques can be learned then incorporated into an individual’s lifestyle and daily habits fairly easily. Some of these new practices are:

• Meditation-sitting, lying, standing or walking
• Conscious Breathing
• Progressive Muscle Relaxation
• Visualization
• Guided Imagery
• Body Awareness

In addition, cognitive skills are introduced and bolstered to support the mindfulness practice, helping an individual to utilize new insights and healthy responses to identify, address and reduce or eliminate dysfunctional responses to stressful internal and external situations.
