What is Mindfulness?

Mindfulness is knowing what you are experiencing while you are experiencing it. It is moment-to-moment awareness and has the quality of being in the now. There’s a sense of freedom, of perspective, of being connected, not judging.

Jon Kabat-Zinn says, “Mindfulness means paying attention in a particular way. On purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgmentally.”

Rick Hanson, author of “The Practical Neuroscience of Buddha’s Brain” defines mindfulness as having control over your attention. “The attention can be placed wherever you want. It stays there and when you want to move your attention to something else, you can.” He adds, “Attention is like a spotlight and what it illuminates streams into the mind and shapes your brain. So developing greater control over attention is the single most powerful way to reshape the brain and thus the mind.”

The space I provide.

The space I provide is for you. Here, you can release the weight of your heart and feel accepted for all of your vulnerabilities, where your heart and mind stop fighting and arrive together, in the middle, to understand and accept one another. This is your journey and I am honored to be a witness to it.
