Mindfulness Meditation

Mindfulness is a type of meditation that involves focusing on your mind on the present. In fact, to be mindful means being aware of your thoughts and actions in the present time.

Mindfulness meditation may improve mood, decrease stress, and boost immune function. Below are some tips to try Mindfulness Meditation:

• Look for a quiet and comfortable place. Now sit in a chair or on the floor with your head, neck and back straight. Try not to make yourself stiff

• Focus on your positive and present thoughts

• Relax and feel your breathing and belly movement. Pay attention to the way each breath changes

• Be aware of each thought in your mind, whether it be a worry, fear, anxiety or hope. When thoughts come up in your mind, simply take note of them

• If you find it difficult to concentrate, simply return to your breathing. Remember to remain calm if this happens

• Finally, sit for a minute or two, becoming aware of where you are. Get up gradually
