About Mindfulness
Mindfulness is about developing our capacity to pay attention to the present moment without judgment or distraction. This enables us to increase our awareness of our habitual reactions to difficult situations and develop more skilful ways of responding, opening us to possibilities for change.

Mindfulness based interventions are used for the treatment of such conditions as stress, depression, anxiety, trauma or addictions. They involve attending carefully to our experience when difficult situations or moods arise to bring awareness to the reactive patterns that lead to downward spirals in mental and physical health. We learn to increase our ability to be compassionate to ourselves and to others, reducing the judgment and thinking that increase suffering. A variety of meditative and cognitive behavioural methods are used to manage these states more skilfully
