What is Mindfulness?

The present moment is the source of your greatest power.

Connecting with your breath brings you into the present moment.

Awareness in the present moment is Mindfulness.

Seeing things as they are, without needing to judge them, is Mindfulness.

Mindfulness unites the heart and mind.
