“MIndfulness is the awareness that arises from paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment and non-judgmentally”

You are not your thoughts…
Your mind is constantly at work. Even when you don’t ask it to and even when you wish it wouldn’t. Usually its thinking about what has already happened and then bounces forward to what could happen. But how often are we truly in the present?
Mindfulness is the practice of awareness that happens when we are in the present. It can quiet the anxious mind, help you savor what is in front of you, and release what is not in your control. In a nutshell, it shows you have a choice in what your mind focuses on!
We offer classes and programs that bring mindfulness into your everyday life. We give practical tools that can help you focus on the present, calm the anxious mind and become more connected to the world around you.
Some of the benefits of a mindfulness practice are:
Calms the anxious mind
Better connection to yourself and those around you
Improved focus and productivity
Can improve your health such as: lowering blood pressure, reducing stress, managing pain and encouraging better sleep
“With Mindfulness, we are not trying to get rid of our thoughts and feelings. Rather, we are learning to look at the experience as it is. Unfolding moment by moment with more awareness and acceptance”

“You are not your thoughts, you are just an observer of them.”
