Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky, concious breathing is my anchor

Mindfulness is an empowering practice that allows you to enjoy the present, and live to fullest in the present regardless of circumstance.

Mindfulness as a practice is more then just meditation, it is about being present and focusing on your breath for a period of time. The amount of time is not necessarily important in this practice as the better you get at it the longer you can stay focused and ultimately the better your practice will become.

Mindfulness is a practice that is relevant to people in every walk of life as it allows you to better cope with day-to-day life and manage with stressful situations in a more effective way, instead of reacting to stress in a negative way and carrying that stress with you for the days and weeks to come, the practice of Mindfulness allows you to accept the situation and "let it go" rather than ignoring the situation and allowing it to manifest and take over your subconscious, and become detrimental.

Give it a go!

Begin with focusing on your breath for only 5 minutes a day, it's 5 minutes, not long, but you'll be surprised how difficult this task actually is! If your mind wanders in this time, simply acknowledge the thought pattern and "let it go" and try to regain focus on your breath.

Like any practice it does take time to develop, and the more frequently you do this, the easier it will get...
