How often is your mind focussed on the present?
How often are you fully aware of your surroundings?
You will notice that your mind wanders all the time; it either revolves around the past or keeps planning for the future.
Mindfulness is a technique that teaches you the skill of paying attention to the present.
It means not existing but being present, fully aware of the moment by focussing all your attention to your bodily sensations, your five senses and your breath.
Mindfulness reduces stress and anxiety, improves attention and memory.
A study by Sara Lazar, a neuroscientist and Assistant Professor of Psychology at Harvard Medical School documented that mindfulness meditation can change the brain's gray matter and brain regions linked with memory, the sense of self and regulation of emotions.
Mindfulness is also linked to reduction in blood pressure, heart rate and brain activity.

We often read trigger warning written on posts on social media but we still tend to consume the content.

While we feel that we are just reading the information, it actually has grave impact on our mental health and well-being.

With recent events in the country and in the world, I've heard my people and clients tell me that their mind and their body feels heavy.

I hope this post will help them and will help you.
I hope it reaches the one who needs it the most right now.
