The aim of this mindfulness meditation:

To be in the present moment.

Mindfulness is about being in the present moment, and being aware, and accepting, without any judgment, any thoughts or feelings or physical sensations, just as they are.

There is plenty of well documented, evidenced based research on this subject, by well respected people like Professor Jon Kabat-Zinn and Professor Mark Williams and many, many others.

Mindfulness can help in many different areas. For example, it can help to:

• improve mood,
• reduced stress,
• reduce anxiety,
• improve sleep,
• help deal with unwanted thoughts,
• be kinder and more compassionate towards yourself,
• feel more centred,
• be more flexible in your thinking and attitude,
• feel calmer,
• be more focused,
• and in general, it can help you improve your enjoyment of life.

Mindfulness is useful in several other areas too, and I’m sure as time passes, this list of potential benefits will continue to increase.

Practicing mindfulness, on a regular basis, perhaps even making it a daily habit, can lead to a healthier and happier life.

How to use:

You can use this mindfulness meditation as often as you want to. Perhaps using it first thing in the morning, or last thing at night, or whenever there is a convenient time for a 10 minute break in your day.

It can also be useful at times when you are stressed or tired or there are negative thoughts going around in your mind, perhaps at those times, try using this 10 minute mindfulness meditation, and afterwards hopefully you will feel better, and more relaxed, and calm, and focused, and be more in this present moment.

In general, the more you use this mindfulness meditation, the more benefit you will receive from it.
