Mindful awareness means paying attention to present moment experiences with openness, curiosity, and a willingness to be with what is. It is an excellent antidote to the stresses of modern times. It invites us to stop, breathe, observe, and connect with one’s inner mental and somatic experience, while reducing reactivity. Scientific evidence suggests that we can change our brains by cultivating habits of mind that will improve wellbeing, including happiness, resilience, compassion and emotional balance. Each of these characteristics can be shaped and modified within our brain by experience and training.
