People come to mindfulness and meditation practices for many reasons - curiosity, anxiety, pain, learning strategies for calming the mind, and more. Mindfulness is paying attention to the present moment, shifting out of autopilot and awakening to the here and now, freeing yourself from regrets about the past and worries about the future. You will gain an understanding of how to be with difficult thoughts and emotions so they don't cause overwhelm. You will learn mindfulness practices and strategies that guide you back to the present moment, so energy is restored —and you feel restored to your life.
