Mindfulness meditation is a mental training practice that teaches you to slow down racing thoughts, let go of negativity, and calm both your mind and body.
It combines meditation with the practice of mindfulness, which can be defined as a mental state that involves being fully focused on “the now” so you can acknowledge and accept your thoughts, feelings, and sensations without judgment.
Techniques can vary, but in general, mindfulness meditation involves deep breathing and awareness of body and mind.
Mindfulness meditation has become the hottest commodity in the wellness universe to relax the body and calmn the mind. Modeled after the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction program created in 1979 by Jon Kabat-Zinn to help counter stress, chronic pain, and other ailments. Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction program, mindfulness is stripped of religious undertones and is very secular.
There is a growing body of research showing that it reduces stress and anxiety, improves attention and memory, and promotes self-regulation and empathy.
Benefits of Mindfulness meditation:
- It brings about nervous system coherence thus reducing stress and anxiety symptoms
- Known to reduce heart rate thus cardiovascular capacity
- mindfulness practices may improve your body’s resistance to illness.

Daily mindfulness tips:
- Brushing your teeth: Feel your feet on the floor, the brush in your hand, and your arm moving up and down.
- Doing dishes: Savor the feeling of the warm water on your hands, the look of the bubbles, and the sounds of the pans clunking on the bottom of the sink.
- Doing laundry: Pay attention to the smell of the clean clothes and the feel of the fabric. Add a focus element and count your breaths as you fold laundry.
- Driving: Turn off the radio—or put on something soothing, like classical music. Imagine your spine growing tall, find the half-way point between relaxing your hands and gripping the wheel too tightly. Whenever you notice your mind wandering, bring your attention back to where you and your car are in space.
- Exercising: Instead of watching television while on the treadmill, try focusing on your breathing and where your feet are as you move.
- Getting kids ready for bed: Get down to the same level as your kids, look in their eyes, listen more than you talk, and savor any snuggles. When you relax, they will too. (https://www.verywellmind.com/mindfulness-meditation-88369)
Mindfulness for Anxiety
- Focus attention on the present moment. Notice the emotions and physical sensations of the moment and simply hold them, without evaluating or passing judgment on them. Become a receptacle for these sensations and notice how they change as time passes.
- Center the attention on breathing. Notice the pattern of breathing and pay attention to the rhythm. Feel whether it is shallow or deep and whether the sensation is greater in the chest or the nose.
- Widen the attention out to encompass the entire body. Notice the feelings throughout the body as they change from moment to moment. Hold the feelings, observing them without judgment.
