Mindfulness/Meditation
Everyone can practice mindfulness and meditation regardless of faith, age, gender or race. Mindfulness is a quality that every human being possesses, we just have to learn to access it. Being mindful is to intentionally be aware and be fully engaged in the present moment, and what is happening in and around us.. While mindfulness is innate, it can be cultivated through proven meditation techniques (seated, walking, standing and moving meditation). Meditation has been proven to be beneficial for one's emotional, mental and spiritual health. The benefits of meditation are bountiful and one can experience: peace of mind, calmness, sense of well-being, increased intuitiveness, increased awareness of self, develop insights, wisdom and compassion.
