What Is Mindfulness?
Mindfulness is a beautiful practice that helps in connecting and being rooted in life as it flows by. It involves getting our minds back to the present and paying attention to the life that is unfolding right now within us and around us.
The Neuroscience Behind Mindfulness
Mindfulness as a practice for well-being and as a way of connecting to one’s true nature has not really been at the mercy of science. It is a practice that has in many ways been taught across eastern philosophical traditions for thousands of years.
