Mindfulness & Meditation
Mindfulness is a lifestyle that involves the intentional practice of remaining fully present in the moment, thereby avoiding distractions from the stream of thoughts and narratives that occupy our minds. As a sports analogy, meditation can be likened to practice, while Mindfulness can be seen as the ultimate goal. Through meditation, we cultivate Mindfulness as a means of fully engaging in life’s experiences.
