Mindfulness is an approach to life, a way of being, and combining it with psychology allows the opportunity to approach living in a more insightful, considered and thoughtful manner. It is about making a choice as to how you wish to live and engage within your own life and the wider experiences of living, whilst openly accepting that you are human and fallible, just as you are meant to be. It focuses on being present in your life and the lives of others and on building resilience and personal choice.
Neuorscientific research into the effectiveness of mindfulness is rapidly propelling it into the fields of medicine, psychology, business, education and parenting, amongst others, as a key component in interventions.
