What is Mindfulness?
Mindfulness’ is usually defined as the ability of bringing our bare attention on purpose, to the present moment, non-judgmentally.

Why Mindfulness?
People are usually unmindful, leading a hectic lifestyle with stress. Scientific research has found that the human mind is 47% of the time unmindful during any given day.
Often, we are unaware of what we are presently engaged in, our thoughts or activities, rather our minds wander along time in to the past and future. This makes us lose the the present moment we live in, thereby the present is rejected often. Being aware of the present can make us give our best or 100% to the present engagement, which increases the accuracy and overall contentment.

How can I practice Mindfulness?
Mindfulness can be practiced once you get the proper guidance. Please visit “Beginner’s Guide”
