What Is Mindfulness?

Mindfulness is paying attention in the present moment – to each moment and all that it has to offer. All of us are already mindful to some degree in our lives. For example, stopping to look at a beautiful sunset; looking into the eyes of a loved one; watching animals or our pets playing and being fully present with exactly what is happening, moment by moment. Even professional sports players could be considered mindful when fully focusing their attention in each moment in what they call “the zone”.

The opposite of being mindful is being mindless or unaware, which many of us identify with as being on “autopilot”. Have you ever driven home from work, only to realize you don’t remember how you got there? Or passed countless time on social media, scrolling endlessly? Next time you’re on the bus, train, or waiting in line – look around and see how many people are mindlessly using their phones instead of being present with what’s happening around them.

Through training we can further develop our capacity for mindfulness, enabling us to fully experience and truly live every moment. We all have this innate capacity to live and not just do. We are, after all, human beings and not human doings.

Testimonials

"I followed Neil's MBSR course and it made a large and lasting contribution to my life. I was initially rather skeptical of mindfulness, but became a believer through its tangible results. My accumulated work-related stress decreased, redirecting my focus became easier after just a few weeks, and my overall sense of well-being increased dramatically. Neil is a great guy, and I'm grateful for the practice and techniques he shared which continue to serve me well."

April B., 8-week mindfulness program participant

"Great experience. Useful tools and techniques to apply. I clearly noticed the positive effects on my everyday life: better focus, quiet mind, reduced stress level overall."

Hendrik, 8-week mindfulness program participant

"Since I’ve started this course, I have seen amazing and quick changes in my everyday life. I am so much more patient at work and more productive. Stress is not driving me anymore as I am now capable of analysing what’s happening and I can choose how to react!"

Emma, 8-week mindfulness program participant

"Meditation makes me feel like I have found the “pause button” that allows me to be in the moment and escape the constant anticipation that occupies so much of our brain."

Caroline, 8-week mindfulness program participant

"MBSR helped me to relativise [sic] my daily situations at the office and at home. Analyse and realise what is important enough to worry about."

Beat, 8-week mindfulness program participant

"I had my initial doubts, and I can be cynical, but the MBSR course proved to be a very good investment. I learned not only useful coping techniques but how to recognise times when I need them and how to effectively put into practice. Helped my stress levels… I thoroughly recommend this course."
