Core Mindfulness

Synopsis

Mindfulness has been defined as a mental state achieved by focusing awareness in the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations as they arise. Originally a Buddhist meditative practice, it is now often applied as a therapeutic technique to promote greater self-awareness and emotional regulation. This training delves into the myths and misconceptions surrounding this practice, and shines a light on common barriers and challenges individuals are often confronted by when adopting a more mindful way of living.
