About Towards Mindfulness
Mindfulness is not the cliche of sitting in a quiet room with a perfectly silent mind, legs crossed and hands in lotus position. It is developing the ability to bring your attention into the the present moment, without judgement, anywhere and anytime. This is a learned skill.
Acquiring this skill allows individuals of all walks of life to have greater control over managing stress, regulating emotions, acting with intention and improved focus, and developing a more positive outlook. These improvements bring with them the potential to transform many different aspects of a person’s life.
