Mindfulness In Action
Mindfulness is a present-focused awareness that can be applied at all times and in any situation. Learning to effectively harness your inner observer to what is occurring in the present moment not only provides for greater clarity in word and action, but also allows for the spaciousness to consider various alternatives while maintaining a sense of calm and objective awareness..
