Jon Kabat-Zinn, creator of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), defines mindfulness as the awareness that arises by paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgmentally. It’s about living your life as if it really mattered, moment by moment by moment by moment.

Who can benefit from this mindful awareness? I believe everyone can. With the speed of life in this technology-filled world, the need to slow down and be fully present is more necessary now than ever before. And mindfulness can help this presence-based awareness happen; for individuals, for teams, for groups.

I am a qualified MBSR teacher, having fulfilled my training at the Center for Mindfulness, the program Jon created at the UMass Medical Center 40 years ago to help people with chronic pain.
