What is Mindfulness Meditation?
Mindfulness is the practice of open and nonjudgmental awareness in the present moment. Research shows that regular meditation fosters physical and emotional health and well-being. It strengthens the immune system, helps reduce stress and anxiety, stimulates attention and focus, reduces our experience of pain, enhances creativity, cultivates compassion, improves productivity and increases performance to mention but a few benefits.
