Mindfulness-Based Programs

"Mindfulness is about being fully present.  It is about attending to the here and now, without being lost in thoughts about the past, or fantasies about the future.  It is a quality of being that embodies kindness, curiosity, an acceptance.  To be mindful is to actually feel the sensations in your body, even unpleasant ones, without clinging to them or wishing them away.  It is to observe your thoughts without letting them become the only version of the truth.  It is to attend to your emotions, embracing whatever it is you're feeling in the moment, even if it's not particularly comfortable. It is to be more sensitive and compassionate toward the people and situations around you.  And when practiced diligently, it can transform our health, our relationships, and our impact on the world."
