Mindfulness and Meditation are often used interchangeably, but there are some key differences between the two.
Mindfulness is the practice of paying attention to the present moment with an attitude of openness and acceptance. It is a way of being aware of your thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations without judgment and without getting involved in their story. This is called meta cognitive awareness.
Meditation is a formal practice that can help you calm your mind. There are many different types of meditation, but they all involve focusing your attention on something, such as your breath, a mantra, or your body.
Meditation is used extensively in Mindfulness but it is not the full story. There are many aspects to Mindfulness that can help you navigate the many situations you can find yourself in in today's fast moving world.
Mindfulness can give you the tools to cope in the world we are living in today, it can help you regulate your emotions, enjoy the life you have and thanks to our understanding now of the brain it can help you to change the habits that are not useful for you any longer using neuroplasticity.
We have learnt more about the brain in the last 50 years that we did in the last 5 million and Mindfulness harnesses these development to help you survive and thrive in the fast paced ever changing world we live in.
