Mindfulness: Ancient Practice Booms in the West
Mindfulness practices, originating from Buddhist teachings, are gaining popularity in the West. At their core, mindfulness practices are about being fully present and engaged in the moment, promoting self-awareness and emotional regulation. Techniques such as meditation, deep breathing, and body scanning help individuals achieve this state. Popularised by Vietnamese Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh, mindfulness encourages observing thoughts and emotions without becoming entangled in them, leading to a greater sense of clarity and tranquillity. By focusing on the present moment, mindfulness practices help reduce stress, improve focus, and enhance overall well-being. Incorporating mindfulness practices into daily life can be simple and beneficial, with even a few minutes of breath focus or mindful walking making a difference. As a practice that trains the mind to stay present, mindfulness offers a path to improved mental well-being and a more balanced life.
