Mindfulness is an ancient Buddhist practice which has profound relevance for our present day lives. Mindfulness has been called the heart of Buddhist meditation. fundamentally, mindfulness is a simple concept. Its power lies in its practice and its applications. Mindfulness means paying attention in a particular way: on purpose, in the present moment, and non judgmentally. The kind of attention nurtures greater awareness, clarity and acceptance of present moment reality. It wakes up to the fact that our lives unfold only moments. If we are not fully present for many of those moments, we may not only miss what is most valuable in our lives but also fail to realize the richness and the depth of our possibilities for growth and transformation.

Mindfulness provides a simple but powerful route for getting ourselves unstuck, back into touch with our own wisdom and vitality. It is a way to take charge of the direction and quality of our own lives, including our relationships within the family, our relationship to work and to the larger world and planet and most fundamentally, our relationship with ourself as a person.
