We practice Mindfulness MBSR in small groups in Anímate to increase well-being and integrate MBSR as a technique in psychotherapy

The origins of Mindfulness can be found 2,500 years ago in the teachings of Buddhism and meditation.

Jon Kabat-Zinnhas established the term Mindfulness in the 80s as a scientific method and psychological conceptfree of religious or dogmatic connotations.

Since then there are a lot of Schools and Centers for Mindfulness that have emerged. Like this of Tich Nat Hanh

In professional circles of mental health and medicinethe value of Mindfulness to preserve our mentalhealth is generally recognized.

Here are just some benefitsto enjoy from the practice of Mindfulness:

Increases the ability to relax and recover
Decreases anxiety
Strengthens the immune system
Significantly improves self-esteem
Reduces the stress of everyday life
Decreases the impact of work stress
Our relationships do improve significantly
Rumination with all its negative effects cannot take place in the same way. Rumination is the chain of negative thoughts that starts and stays automatically
Increases pain tolerance. This point is especially interesting for people facing medical interventions or people with chronic pain
Prevents relapses of depression.

Mindfulness is the practice of being present.

Here is a small practice

Sit or stand still for a moment in an upright posture.
Perceive your body
Pay attention to what is happening right now.
Be aware of your breathing.
Perceive what is happening around you.
Be aware of signals from your body such as physical sensations, emotions or thoughts.
Judge NOTHING
Don’t expect ANYTHING.
Let everything there be.
Let it go too.
Do not suppress any sensation, emotion or thought.
Breathe and be present with awareness.
Stay like this for a while

Mindfulness is a practice that can be incorporated into the daily routineat every moment like small incisions of breathing and consciousness in the day
After a few moments anxiety reduces.
To practice means immersing yourself in a space of timelessnessbecause the presence has no time.

After a few minutes you will notice how mind and body recover. With practice, our heart rate and our breathing are calmed down as normally just happens during sleep.
With this simple practice you can reduce the speed of your day at any time and enter a state of “being centered” and present.
Doing mindfulness is an encounter with ourselves at every moment.

If you do not find calmness inside yourself, it is of no sense to look for it outside.
(Francois de La Rochefoucauld)
