Mindfulness
Mindfulness is the buzzword of the moment. But what is it all about exactly?
Mindfulness – also known as meditation – is a valuable skill that has been taught for thousands of years in many of the world’s wisdom traditions including Chritianity, Buddhism and Islam.
Mindfulness is a way of living in the present so that you don’t worry about past mistakes and painful experiences or live in the future worrying about possible mistakes and painful experiences.
Stop for a second. Where are you at this very moment? Are you right here, right now, fully focused as you hear these words, or has your mind taken flight and gone AWOL – as usual? It is normal for the mind to wander – that is what it is designed to do, but to allow yourself to focus on the present moment can be very helpful.
CyberShrink offers mindfulness-based techniques and interventions as well as mindfulness meditation in Cape Town.
In the context of dealing with overwhelming emotions:
Mindfulness is the ability to be aware of your thoughts, emotions, physical sensations and actions – in the present moment – without judging or criticising yourself or your experience.
