Some ways that mindfulness can help you:
- It reduces overthinking which damages the spleen meridian.
- It alleviates stress, improves memory, the ability to focus and improves learning.
- It helps one to be non-reactive to others, so that in the midst of crisis you can remain calm.
- It allows us to think differently, so de-stressing our lives
- It enhances our compassion, empathy and kindness to ourselves and others so increasing our ability to be happy. This lessens our anxiety and improves our sleep.
