What is Mindfulness Meditation?

• Mindfulness is a life skill that can deepen our sense of well-being and fulfillment

• It involves paying attention to what is occurring in our present moment experience

• With an attitude of Openness, Curiosity and Non-judgemental acceptance

• Mindfulness is a state of being accessible to everyone

• It engages all our senses as we open to our entire experience

• We become aware of our body, emotions, thoughts and the external environment

• It is about “coming back to our senses” being in touch with ourselves, with others and our surroundings in the present moment

• It is a natural and an intuitive state of presence in which we can feel more connected, real and alive

Recognizing the unsettled mind

 Examples of the busy mind:

Driving, Eating, being on automatic pilot Have you ever started eating a snack bar, taken a couple of bites, then noticed all you had left? was an empty packet in your hand?

Or been driving somewhere and arrived at your destination only to realize you remember nothing about your journey?

Unable to sleep at night because our thoughts are repetitive and keep going around and around?

As humans, we are often "not present" in our own lives. We often fail to notice the good things about our lives, fail to hear what our bodies are telling us, or poison ourselves with toxic self-criticism.

Human minds are easily distracted, habitually examining past events and trying to anticipate the future.

Becoming more aware of our thoughts, feelings and sensations may not sound like an obviously helpful thing to do; however, learning to do this in a way that suspends judgement and self-criticism can have an incredibly positive impact on our lives.
