Mindfulness psychotherapy can bring inner peace and a calm mind to difficult and confusing  life situations. Mindfulness can help you cultivate clarity, compassion, and effective action in you life. Once learned, the techniques of mindfulness can be applied to all issues and states of mind that may arise in your life. 

 What is Mindfulness?

Mindfulness means being present with whatever arises in the moment and allowing it to be there without judgement. In the words of Jon Kabat-Zinn:

 Mindfulness means paying attention

in a particular way; on purpose,

in the present moment,

and nonjudgmentally.

. 

Mindfulness psychotherapy is a form of contemplative psychology blending Western therapeutic techniques with Eastern philosophy and awareness practices.

Since mindfulness views everyone as intrinsically healthy, the contemplative approach focuses on helping us connect with the wisdom we each have within. Viewing our lives with clarity, presence, and compassion offers us a way to break free of old conditioning to meet life fully.

Mindfulness leads us to presence, self-compassion, non-judgmental awareness, loving kindness, radical acceptance, effective action and communication, and discovering one's true nature.                                 

I think when tragic things happen, it is on the surface. It's like the ocean. On the surface a wave comes, and sometimes the wave is very serious and strong. But it comes and goes, comes and goes, and  underneath the ocean always remains calm. -The Dalai Lama

Note:

Mindfulness psychotherapy and contemplative psychotherapy offer a secular approach to psychotherapy. It is not necessary to meditate or follow Buddhist teachings to benefit from them. The practice and philosophy of mindfulness work well with other spiritual and religious traditions.
