stress reduction through Mindfulness
Meditation has been practiced for thousands of years and in many different cultures. Often it is associated with religious practices. Mindfulness is a specific type of meditation and was developed as a secular, medically-based intervention to help people facing various health challenges. It is not affiliated with any religion or spiritual tradition.
Mindfulness involves training the mind to focus on the experience of the present moment without judgment. When practiced consistently over time, research has shown mindfulness meditation may help reduce stress, chronic pain issues, high blood pressure, heart disease, asthma, anxiety, panic attacks, depression and fatigue. It may also help improve quality of sleep, immune function, self-esteem and ability to cope with stressful situations.
