Mindfulness

Blending ancient wisdom with modern neuroscience and psychology

Mindfulness is a new modality in Western society. Cleverly blending ancient wisdom traditions of the East, particularly with modern neuroscience and psychology. A series of simple skills can be learned by anyone wishing to harness the power of their mind.

The 2015 UK Mindfulness All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) investigated how to incorporate mindfulness into education, criminal justice, the workplace and health. This APPG described mindfulness as:

“Mindfulness is best considered an inherent human capacity akin to language acquisition; a capacity that enables people to focus on what they experience in the moment, inside themselves as well as in their environment, with an attitude of openness, curiosity and care”.
