Mission

 A mental state achieved by focusing your awareness on the present moment, while acknowledging and accepting one’s feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations.

 To live mindfully is to live in the present moment, rather than dwelling on the past or anticipating the future. To be mindful is to observe thoughts, feelings, sensations in the body in an objective manner. Mindfulness can therefore be a tool to avoid self-criticism and judgment while identifying and managing difficult emotions.

    A person’s experience of time tends to be subjective and heavily influenced by their emotional state. Fears and insecurities about the past and the future can make it difficult to fully appreciate the present moment. The key is learning how to bring your awareness to the now. Mindfulness can take place through mediation sessions or smaller moments throughout the day.
