What is Mindfulness?
A technique? A technology? A lifestyle choice? A therapy? Arguably all these things – so no wonder many people are confused about what it is and whether it’s worth pursuing. But people are pursuing it. We find mindfulness at universities, elementary schools, hospitals, and government institutions.
A contemporary definition of mindfulness describes it as a technique, not affiliated with religion (i.e. secular), used to reduce “negative experiences”, such as those related to stress, pain, depression, anxiety, or chronic illness. It’s described as a method to cultivate our focus on the present moment – and after days of scheduling, planning ahead, trying to recall details of the past, how could this not be a welcome relief?! Contemporary mindfulness is also about meeting our experience in the present with openness, curiosity, and kindness.
What is mindfulness? What is it not? How does it alleviate stress and why might you want to give it a try?

We’re striving for even more impact!

Many people still assume that electromagnetic fields (EMFs) emitted by their devices (cell phones, computers and ipads, etc.) are completely harmless. This conventional believe persists despite thousands of research studies that identify EMFs as an obstacle to the body’s natural repair mechanisms.
If you’re feeling more anxiety than usual right now, you’re not alone. Many of our clients are reporting feelings of anxiety that interfere with relationships, work, and sleep. It’s a natural and common response to this pandemic and the uncertainty that comes with it. It’s further amplified when our stress-relieving activities like social gatherings and weekend getaways, are not options. Here are some activities, approaches, and natural health supplements that might help you get through the next few months with less anxiety, more energy, and a greater appreciation for our inherent human resiliency and adaptability.
