What Mindfulness can bring you

Mindfulness means being consciously attentive to the here and now. That is not easy in our busy lives. We do a lot out of habit, on autopilot. The attention for the NOW is not there, we are busy with what has happened and what still needs to be done. Yet we also know experiences of being fully present: the breathtaking sunset, beautiful music or another intense experience. Our mind is still, we are all attention. You feel free and happy. You experience inner peace.

Mindfulness is a collection of techniques that trains you to pay attention to everything you do and think. With Mindfulness you train to be constantly aware of what is happening here and now.

During the journey, exercises are offered to experience inner peace, to be in the moment and to apply this in your daily life.
