What is Mindfulness?

what is mindfulness - lady meditating

Mindfulness is a real-time tool that allows us to catch ourselves in any given moment when we are suffering. Many times, this suffering is driven by “monkey mind,” that sensation of our thoughts flickering between restlessness, confusion, job, sadness, and our daily to-do list. Sound familiar? It’s this monkey mind that’s at the root of human suffering. Whether we are in bed experiencing major depression or stressed out in traffic, we are suffering. However, when we recognize it, we can take the first step in empowering ourselves to do something about it.

Today, there’s a growing body of research that demonstrates meditation’s power to decrease the symptoms of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, OCD, ADD, and other conditions. Meditation provides an incredible array of benefits—from improved focus to lower blood pressure. The best thing about mediation? There is no wrong way to meditate. If you learn the basics and set aside a short amount of time each day, you’ll begin to see the possibilities that this simple technique offers.

Professional Leaders

The veil of being a professional leader overshadows the needs of the vulnerable human being inside. Career, family, and responsibility all lend themselves to a unique set of compromising issues for these men and women, giving rise to addiction, anxiety, burnout, and depression. Over the years, I have successfully guided and coached leaders via various therapy techniques—including working alongside peer-assistance programs, professional recovery groups, and, at times, family members—to create a mindful refuge of recovery for these talented individuals. As the Austin population grows, so does the population of corporate leaders, business owners, and licensed professionals; I am here to support these professionals.
