We hear so much about Mindfulness and Mindful Meditation these days, but what do they have to do with mental health? 

​

Mindful Meditation

 

Mindful Meditation helps to keep us focused on what is occurring within us and around us at any given moment.  You simply sit, and notice your breath.  That’s it.  As you sit, you pay attention to your breathing: the rise and fall of your chest, the air as it comes into your nose, and the sensations as you let it out, and the calm of simply being.    Just noticing.   At some point you’ll become aware that your attention has wandered, and your thoughts have returned to what’s normally there:  memories, your day, what might come, etc...  That’s okay.  You can just notice that thoughts are there, and then just bring yourself back to your breath.
