Mindfulness or Meditation?

Mindfulness and meditation have become the buzz words of the decade, but do you know the difference?  One is designed for monks, the other is for people with busy minds and busy lives.  Mindfulness is a "directed focus" mental practice, meaning you need to have some point of concentration during the exercise.   It is the art of bringing your awareness into the present moment and is very effective at handling your stress right now.  Most mindfulness practices are designed to bring your awareness into the body and into the right now, making it a wonderful tool to help you stop reviewing the past or rehearsing the future.  Some examples of mindfulness exercises are counting your breath, visualizing or listening to guided audio, all very lovely.  Mindfulness helps you feel better right now. 
​  
By contrast, meditation helps you get rid of stress from your past. It deals with issues in your tissues that have accumulated there over many years.  Every bite of fast food you have ever eaten, every wine night, every stressful event you have encountered, all get stored in your cellular memory.  Meditation gives your body the deep healing rest that is needed to rid your cells of the accumulated stress.  Your body has the ability to heal itself from stress and the less stress you have in your body, the easier it is to perform at the top of your game.  Meditation is a practice born our to the Vedas and is a 6,000 year old practice.  It requires no effort, no focused concentration and no struggle to clear the mind.  The tool we use to help with this is called a mantra.  For more information on how you can incorporate meditation into your life, please contact me.
