Research suggests that Mindfulness focuses on the awareness of moment-to-moment internal and external experience with a state of non-judgemental attentiveness. Many people know that we have to treasure the moment, but have no clue how to do so.
Mindfulness provides a way for us to practice in our daily life, which can cultivate our awareness, acceptance, compassion to self and others. The change comes from our own experience of practice.
Mindfulness can be an intervention method for psychological disorders such as anxiety, depression and chronic pain. The benefits of mindfulness are not limited in mental health disorders, it benefits everyday life.
