Mindfulness  can be practiced by anyone from young to old.  Mindfulness is a way of paying attention to, and seeing clearly whatever is happening in our lives.  It will not eliminate life's pressures, but it can help us respond to them in a calmer manner that benefits our heart, head, and body. It helps us recognise and step away from habitual, often unconscious emotional and physiological reactions to everyday events. It provides us with a scientifically researched approach to cultivating clarity, insight, and understanding. Practicing mindfulness allows us to be fully present in our life and work, and improve our quality of life.

With mindfulness practice, we can learn to quieten the mind through mental exercises such as noticing your breathing and body sensations.  For example, these exercises help you not to take things personally, but learn to treat them as if they were clouds in the sky, observing them with curiosity. There are exercises to encourage you to be kind to yourself instead of being critical. Mindfulness has been clinically proven to bring about long term changes with negative thoughts, depression and anxiety. It is not a form of religion, it merely trains your mind to focus more clearly.
