Mindful ATX provides a wide variety of mindfulness coaching and meditation training programs for companies and individuals throughout the Austin area. Mindfulness is simply the practice of bringing your attention into the present moment. It’s about becoming observant of what is happening NOW, including your thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations. As opposed to being lost in memories of the past or anticipation of the future, mindfulness practice involves bringing your attention back to the present moment, to what are you doing, while you are doing it. This attention is non-judgmental and does not label things as good or bad, it simply observes. Mindfulness opens doors to self-inquiry and contributes to a greater sense of self-awareness. Greater self-understanding can lead to healing, overcoming blocks, and empowerment to make positive changes in our lives. There are many benefits to a mindful practice including decreased reactivity to stress, improved sleep, enhanced creativity and problem-solving, improved relationships, enhanced compassion for self and others, and overall satisfaction with life.
