Mindfulness teaches us how to deal with life’s challenges in a calmer manner. It is not the answer to all of life’s problems but rather it allows us to see our problems more clearly, be in touch with our body and be able to respond in a discerning way rather than reacting with high emotion. It is a particular way of paying attention and looking deeply into oneself. It teaches us how to let go of thoughts and emotions that don’t serve us. This episode will focus on understanding the concept of mindfulness, help you recognize the importance of self-reflection and introduce you to two mindfulness practice.

Practical episode outcome: understand the concept, recognize where it fits in and the general benefit, prepare supportive self-reflective tools. Experience a breathwork practice.
