So what is mindfulness?

I am glad you asked.

Mindfulness is one of the golden keys to unlocking your best life.

Mindfulness is necessary to help you connect more fully with your life's purpose.

Mindfulness is an effective way to reduce stress, increase self-awareness, enhance emotional intelligence, and undermine AUTOMATIC and REPETITIVE destructive thoughts, feelings and behaviors.

Mindfulness has only recently been embraced in the Western world, however it is an ancient practice found in a wide range of Eastern philosophies, including Buddhism, Taoism and Yoga. Mindfulness involves consciously bringing awareness to your here-and-now experience with openness, interest, and receptiveness. Jon Kabat-Zinn, a world authority on the use of mindfulness training in the management of medical problems, defines it as: "Paying attention in a particular way: on purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgmentally."

Mindfulness is about waking up, connecting with ourselves, and appreciating the fullness of each moment of life. Kabat-Zinn further describes mindfulness as, "The art of conscious living." It is a simple, yet profound way to enhance your psychological and emotional resilience, and increase your life satisfaction.

Mindfully,

Dr. Mike Davison
