How to Start a Mindfulness Meditation Practice

Mindfulness is learning to attend to and observe the present moment, on purpose, as non-judgmentally, and non-reactively as possible. By practicing mindfulness and training our attention, with consistency, we are better able to manage the stressors that come our way, resulting in improving our mental, emotional, and physical health. Practicing mindfulness is deceptively simple, but that does not mean it is easy. Within this session, we will discuss tactical strategies for starting and continuing an effective mindfulness practice.
