Overview
Mindfulness is a type of meditation achieved by focusing awareness on the present moment. It directs attention away from negative thinking to engaging with the world around you. Practicing mindfulness may include breathing, guided imagery and intentional relaxation. These techniques help to relieve physical and/or emotional stress and its consequences. Mindfulness and meditation may also improve mood, brain function and pain management. The roots of mindfulness go back nearly 2,500 years, yet has become a popular exercise today. This activity is designed to demonstrate the value meditation and mindfulness for stress and anxiety management and overall well-being.
