What is Mindfulness?

Thank you to Margaret Kennedy, Acupuncturist with Elan Family Wellness Centre, for these words on Mindfulness for our May newsletter. 

The whole world, as we have known it, our individual world has been rushing around for ages with little or NO MINDFULNESS.
We have been so busy rushing around, cut off from ourselves. one another, our environment  and NATURE,  that it has affected our whole lives, our world  - negatively.  
Now, a virus, something we cannot even see, has forced us  to slow down,  to isolate from “our NORM”.
All our negativeness arise now, we become stressed, angry, anxious, worried,  agitated, depressed, fearful  - How to change this?  
This is our time to BE MINDFUL of ourselves, our lives and our world. To CHANGE ourselves, our world.
Mindfulness is being aware moment by moment of our thoughts,  emotions, where we hold our feelings in our bodies and our environment – locally and in the world.
To experience Mindfulness, set aside a specific time to practice sitting mindful Meditation,  mindful Walking,  mindful Breathing, mindful Listening.
Research has shown that mindfulness positively  affects our health, changes brain function and our relationships.
Mindfulness  helps us  develop our deeper human capacities for awareness, attention, empathy, kindness and compassion for ourselves,  for our world and each other.
