How can Mindfulness meditation help you?
Mindfulness Meditation supports us in paying attention to the present moment.
Often we are so concerned with the past and the future that it can stop us from being present in the moment. Through mindful meditation we can help ourselves be present in the moment by bringing our awareness to our breath.
Why attention to the breath? Our breath is the one constant, an anchor that helps us connect with being present.
