The capacity for a stable attention increases awareness, intelligence and harmony. Also the mental peace brought about by mindfulness has deeply therapeutic healing properties. Mindfulness Therapy is known as the third wave in psychotherapy, following psychoanalysis and cognitive behavioral therapy, and is having remarkable success. Through rigorous studies, mindfulness training has been found to be effective in the treatment of a wide variety of mental and emotional disturbances such as anxiety, stress, depression and addiction, as well as boosting the bodys immune system, neurological functioning and self-healing capacities. Mindfulness allows detachment from the thinking mind which is judgmental and by nature disturbing. Once detached from the restlessness of the thinking mind, mindfulness allows our awareness to settle down to a naturally calm state of stillness and clarity. While mindfulness training undoubtedly brings a connection with inner peace and has enormous therapeutic and healing capacities, it also serves the function of being a sensitive tool to explore and contemplate our spiritual essence and the fundamental nature of our own mind. Once stabilised, mindfulness is used as a precise tool to penetrate deep into our own awareness, facilitating a deeper understanding of its nature and qualities. “Mindfulness is the aware, balanced acceptance of the present experience. It isnt more complicated than that. It is opening to or receiving the present moment, pleasant or unpleasant, just as it is, without either clinging to it or rejecting it. ”
