It is difficult for us to let go of our thoughts, but sometimes the more we want to suppress , the louder it becomes. Mindfulness teaches how to shift the focus to a single point of reference, such as one’s breath or bodily sensations, or a word or phrase known as a mantra. The practise has been shown to minimise distraction and rumination, make it easier to let go of negative unconscious thoughts, and encourage greater enjoyment of the present moment.

From Mind-full to Mindful

What brings

you to

exploring

mindfulness?

It is the nature of our mind to

wander. As you begin to think,

your mind will begin to plan

for the future or recall events

from the past. Thus, awareness

is drawing attention to the way

the mind operates.

Awareness is

Absolute Reality.

Why Mindfulness-Meditation?

Buddhism situated consciousness in both the mind and the body.

It contends that mindfulness practices, namely mindfulnessmeditation,

can alter the learned patterns of interaction between

the body, mind, and environment. Within Buddhist spiritual paths,

other meditation practices have been developed as a means to

alter these conditioned patterns, such as concentrative/focused

attention meditation practices.

Only mindfulness-meditation practices are thought to be the only

means to fully acknowledge complex interactions among different

sources of sensory and mental experiences, as well as the selfreferential

and ultimately self transcending process of awareness.
