Mindfulness

Mindfulness is a practice of paying attention, on  purpose, in an intentional way, to the present moment without judgement. Being mindful is a way of being that we all have access to and can cultivate through proven techniques that guide us in working with our bodies and minds to be in the present moment.  Mindfulness offers strategies and perspective that we can connect with to be more present and less reactive in all our experiences, whether those experiences are wonderful or disheartening.  Below is a list of strategies and resources to support you in bringing mindfulness practice into your day.
