Mindfulness is based on ancient contemplative wisdom practices, and has been receiving increased exposure and support as a valuable tool for both children and adults.Current scientific research validates this practice as being able to rewire brains toward health and wellness It can be applied in both personal and professional settings.’ Mindfulness is a practice of embodiment and those working with students in the application of mindfulness are best prepared when they have a personal practice well established.

Mindfulness is a way of being in the world, something to add to ones to-bd list, not ones to-do list.

By implementing these techniques, you will be able to form new habits and patterns, while developing new brain circuits to actually be able to respond and not react to whatever situation arises with more awareness, attention and intention.
When students or adults practice mindfulness, they discover a greater ability to tolerate difficult emotions, to stay focused on the task at hand, while being more present and connected with the people around them. Increased peace, calm and balance are also benefits.
