Mindfulness can be defined as the capacity to bringing one’s attention, intentionally, to the present moment, without judgment, on the experience that unfolds from moment to moment. We are often on autopilot, caught up in ruminations about the past, projects about the future, judgments about the present. The pace of today’s life requires us to deal with multiple demands, simultaneously, which causes us to react, rather than respond calmly and openly. These behaviours, often a source of stress, can lead to tension (physical and/or psychological), irritability, depression, relationship tension, impulsivity, difficulty concentrating, sleep disorders, fatigue or even exhaustion, etc.

This practice is a training of the mind, allowing us to free ourselves from the autopilot mode, which is often the source of unhappiness. Mindfulness allows us to develop and cultivate an ability to be in a different relationship with our intentions, our emotions, our thoughts and more broadly with present the experience lived from moment to moment.
