Mindfulness
What is it Really?
Mindfulness is a well-known concept in pop culture, but very few truly cultivate a meaningful practice. Mindfulness, at its core, is being present. The modern world has created a generation of stressed out, distracted, and isolated people. We're distracted when we're driving, we can't stay focused on the book we're reading, and we miss half of what is said to us during a conversation.
Mindfulness Takes Many Forms
Whatever helps you pay attention and be present in the moment can be an exercise in mindfulness. Some examples are guided meditations, breath work, a walk that activates all the senses, or a slow flow yoga practice—anything designed to show your breath and heart rate and calm the nervous system. In the therapy office, you'll be led through beautiful imagery, deep breathing, body scans and/or progressive muscle relaxation exercises.
