This is part 2 of the discussion on “mindfulness”. Mindfulness is when a person is being aware of their senses in the present moment which includes the five senses as well as any internal senses that one is feeling. There is no stress in the present moment. When a person connects a thought with a threat in the context of the past or  future, anxiety and stress will be the response and the physical body will respond to that condition. Practicing mindfulness will assist in detaching from thoughts that are connected to a threat and peace will be the result.

This class introduces the concept of mindfulness. The principles underlying mindfulness is that we can only be in the here and now in each moment. The senses communicate to us what we are experiencing at the present moment.   When we bring our consciousness to the present reality, there is no stress in the  moment. When we allow our thoughts to drift to either the past or the future and attach some kind of threat to those thoughts, we create stress and our body reacts with the stress response.
