MINDFULNESS
Mindfulness is a meditation technique aimed at focusing the mind on the present moment. A report published this week anaylising data involving 3,000 thousands participants suggests mindfulness can help alleviate feelings of stress and increase the quality of life. The study also shows measurable improvements of up to 20% in symptoms of anxiety and depression. So, what is mindfulness and how does it work? Unlike mantra meditation, which involves focusing concentration on a particular word or sound, mindfulness aims to achieve a relaxed, non-judmental awareness of your thoughts, feelings and sensations.This is what Mark Williams, professor of clinical pyschology at the Oxford Mindfulness Centre, calls a direct knowing of what is going on inside and outside ourselves, moment by moment.' Buddist monks have been practicing a similar technique for 2,500 years, but it didn't reach western medicine until the late 1970s. John kabat-Zinn, a US medical professor, began sucessfully treating patients suffering from chronic pain with a programme he called Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction.
In recent years, organizations as varied as the US Army and Google have started offering mindfulness training for employees; moreover, increasing numbers of schools are incorporating it into the curriculum for 13 and 14 years-old. Frequently, the pace and stress of modern living leave us caught up in a stream of thoughts and feelings, trapped in past problems or overwhelmed by future anxieties. The idea is that by connecting with the present moment mindfulness practitioners become essentially able to manage feelings and sensations. The techniques sound simple enough: sitting in a quite place, deep-belly breathing, paying attention to your body and training the mind to observe, focus and filter. Why not give it a go?
See you soon.
Y para concluir, ¿qué mejor que un poco de música relajante? Con la Avalon Jazz Music Orchestra. Para planchar, es una música de fondo muy buena.
Saludos, familia.
