Mindfulness is a practice that aims to raise awareness of the present moment. By consciously observing thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations without judgment or interpretation, people can improve their attention and concentration. It is usually developed through meditation and originates from the Buddhist and Hindu traditions.

Jon Kabat-Zinn is seen as the father of modern mindfulness training and brought it to the Western world. He developed various techniques for practicing mindfulness, including breathing exercises, meditations, and conscious eating.

The benefits of mindfulness are manifold. Studies have shown that regular mindfulness exercises can reduce stress, improve emotional stability, and increase general well-being. In addition, mindfulness can also promote cognitive function and creativity.

For our project, we explored some mindfulness activities and found them very useful to become aware of our body and our body sensations. To benefit from the advantages of mindfulness, it is important to practise regularly. We have chosen some activities here for you to explore mindfulness. You can find many apps and online resources that offer more guided mindfulness exercises.
