Mindfulness helps calm the nervous system, allowing you to be more aware of physical sensations, thoughts and emotions as they are happening which enables you to access your innate wisdom and respond skilfully. Being mindful helps you move from autopilot to increased awareness of your inner landscape and the external world. Extensive scientific research has been conducted and the evidence is in. Mindfulness can help with stress, anxiety, depression and addictive behaviours. It can have a positive effect on hypertension, heart disease and chronic pain. There is substantial evidence to show that mindfulness increases emotional intelligence and improves relationships. Mindfulness is a recommended treatment by NICE (National Institute for Health & Clinical Excellence) for depression. "Mindfulness helps us get better at seeing the difference between what’s happening and the stories we tell ourselves about what’s happening, stories that get in the way of direct experience. Often such stories treat a fleeting state of mind as if it were our entire and permanent self." — Sharon Salzberg
