Mindfulness is the concept of moving our awareness to various focal points. It is a method of becoming present or aware of the things we are experiencing in this very moment.
How one begins to practice mindfulness is an individual choice. It can be as simple as shifting focus from the business of thoughts, the intensity of emotion, or the challenges we face in life ………….. to ……………… one simple thing, like the feeling of our feet inside our shoes.
When the focus is shifted to something in the present moment, our bodies respond by relaxing – perhaps at first only slightly, but as we engage with the moment – we begin to relax more and more.
There are so many ways to practice mindfulness. Some people enjoy focusing on bodily sensations, others prefer looking around at the environment………….. at a leaf, at the dew drop on a leaf.

Mindfulness can be described as becoming aware of the moment. Your awareness moves to the moment through noticing your experience of images around you, sounds, sensations, smells, and tastes. This grounding experience releases us from the busy mind and into the moment through our bodily sensation.
You can introduce mindfulness into any and every activity.
You can be mindful while: folding laundry, washing dishes, eating, walking, breathing, driving.
Mindfulness is noticing, starting with any or all of your five senses and within the present moment, what you are experiencing.
Mindfulness Moments
Feeling the temperature of your skin; smelling the air around you; tasting the water you drink; looking deeply at the tiny object in front of you; hearing each passing sound with interest and attention.
Noticing your experience of emotion; becoming aware of your passing thoughts; experiencing the sensation of your heartbeat; feeling the movement of your breath within your body.
