Description:

Why Everyday? Because mindfulness is normal; it is not something special, limited to Buddhists, mystics, academics or psychologists. This is a simple process that any human being can undertake. Mindfulness is not always an easy thing to do, particularly if you have never experienced anything like this before or if you are going through intense pain or strong emotions. But the techniques required to cultivate greater mindfulness are incredibly simple and are available to any human being free of charge. As time progresses, mindfulness becomes easier and easier to develop and being in the present moment becomes as much of a habit as our normal state of distractedness. How do I Start? There are many ways in which you can practice mindfulness. After all, there are  many ways in which you can anchor yourself to any given moment.Many people practice mindfulness of breathing, because the breath is always here and always in the present moment. The breath is a wonderful anchor, and it can really get you in touch with your own body and what is going on there, but there are other ways ways to practice mindfulness too.

It is that important. Our Aim The aim of Everyday Mindfulness is simply to promote mindfulness Mindfulness is free, simple and has the potential to be life changing.
