Mindfulness mindfulness ˈmʌɪn(d)f(ʊ)lnəs/ noun 1. the quality or state of being conscious or aware of something. “their mindfulness of the wider cinematic tradition” 2. a mental state achieved by focusing one’s awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting one’s feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations, used as a therapeutic technique.

How to achieve Mindfulness:

It can be quite daunting when you start on the path to achieve Mindfulness but its is actually its very easy and can start with as little of 5 minutes a day!

Start by paying attention to your body, what is it feeling? Is there any discomfort emotionally or physically? What can you smell? Hear? Taste? Then as you become aware of your body’s signals you can decide which sense you want to focus on first. As time goes on you will be able to focus easily on more than one sense at a time.

When you have decided which sense you want to focus on, go with this. Concentrate on this sense on nothing else. If you do find that your mind is easily wandering pull yourself back to your chosen sense or feeling. Build yourself up to focusing on this for one minute at time.

If your having difficulty try to put some relaxing music on, this will help your mind focus as you wind down from the days stresses. You Tube is an excellent resource for this.

You can even join this in when you meditate, however I would advise you allow yourself time to build up concentrating on one focus before adding it into your meditation routine.

The beauty of mindlessness is that I can be done anywhere at any time, all you need is a few minutes and yourself!

To be mindful is to be awake, to be awake, to be awake means we are making conscious choices in our lives and no longer acting on our impulses and left surprised by the consequences.

It’s time to enjoy TODAY!
