Mindfulness & Meditation
What is Mindfulness Meditation?
Mindfulness is an invitation to slow down, to train the mind to be present. It is about being completely in the now, noticing this second, how you feel, what you think, what you want, without criticism or judgment.
Mindfulness is simply a method of mental training of presence and gentleness.
When we notice what we are thinking and feeling in the moment, we can grow our capacity to respond to life more appropriately, more skillfully.
Mindful awareness – or mindfulness – spontaneously arises out of this BEING mode. It’s when we learn to purposefully pay attention to the present moment, without judgment, to things as they actually are.
It’s a practice of meeting life ‘just as it is’…more and more and more, again and again and again.
An art of resting, softening into presence with an allowing befriending, curious, spacious attitude of mind. Meeting life in this way cultivates skillful ways in navigating and responding to life more intimately, more lightly, more kindly.

Mindfulness Meditation is the practice of 'clearly seeing' what is alive in our body, mind and heart. It is the invitation to actively turn towards our direct experience with a sense of care, compassion and curiosity. This practice cultivates the development of wisdom and insight in how we relate to the 'here and now' - which can lead to more fluidity and intimacy with the unfolding nature of experience.
