Mindfulness

Mindfulness is the basic human ability to be fully present , aware of where we are and what we are doing. Furthermore, Mindfulness promotes our ability to not overly react or feel overwhelmed by what is going on around us.

Mindfulness for Calm & Clarity

Mindfulness has been found to be very useful in significantly reducing symptoms of anxiety by allowing people to become aware of and manage their thoughts and feelings in the present moment.

This increased awareness effectively calms the mind and body, therefore suggesting that Mindfulness is a potential helpful technique in reducing symptoms of anxiety.

Other difficulties that have been found to benefit from Mindfulness include depression, concentration and focus, as well as relationship quality.

How the Brain Reduces Stress

The mechanism through which Mindfulness reduces anxiety symptoms involves its impact on the amygdala, the area of the brain that controls stress by reducing cortisol, the stress hormone.

Thus, people experience greater improvements in their ability to cope with stressful situations and enhance overall psychological wellbeing.

From Struggle to Acceptance

Combining Mindfulness and acceptance helps people change their relationship with and response to their anxious thoughts and feelings.

Furthermore, Mindfulness therapy encourages people to stop trying to cope with anxiety, to leave anxiety alone instead of experiencing it as an emotion, feeling, or sensation.

Mindfulness therapy also helps people nurture compassion towards their emotional life, and move away from constant states of anxious discomfort.

Breaking Automatic Patterns

Mindfulness techniques are many and involve freeing people from ingrained, automatic responses.

Specifically, grounding tools that help people stay present and centered in the moment help them detach from the anxiety they experience and focus on what is in their control.

The Power of Breath

Breathing techniques help us engage the stressed nervous system and to calm both the body and mind while releasing feel good endorphins.

Finding Peace in Meditation

Meditation scripts provide people with calm and peace, and the opportunity to stay in the present.

Such techniques include the ‘Five Senses’ tool to help prepare people for events known to cause anxiety or for much needed breaks in time of stress.

Mindful Eating

The ‘Raisin Meditation’ helps people get back to the present by focusing on food; it’s taste, smell, and texture.
