Experience Mindfulness
Many people have found Mindfulness useful, whether they have used it to help them deal with recurrent depression or anxiety, or as a tool to improve their mental wellbeing and help them deal with stress.
Mindfulness helps people to see their situation, thoughts and feelings in a non-judgmental way so they can stop themselves from reacting impulsively. It gives them time and space to consider a new way of acting, to break a negative cycle of thinking and doing, and to feel more in control of their actions.
We spoke to Ruby Wax, Ed Halliwell and Kathy Andrews about their mindfulness experiences and how the therapy has helped them lead happier, more fulfilling lives.
"Mindfulness is the piece that's missing in other kinds of therapy. Now I don't get so sucked into old patterns of blaming and judging myself."
