Mindfulness Education What is mindfulness? Widely accepted as a means of developing calm, resilience and non-reactivity, mindfulness is a way of being with our own physical, mental and emotional experience in a way that is accepting and aware. It is about how we experience ourselves, others and the world around us. It is not aimed at inputing any particular content, but rather at helping us notice what is already present so we know how it is affecting us. With mindfulness, we can increase our ability to respond appropriately in any given situation.
