Is this Mindfulness Meditation?

No. In fact, I go out of my way to avoid the word because it’s misused and overused so much. Mindfulness Meditation refers to a specific therapeutic system that is well-studied and quite excellent. But it isn’t what we do.

We focus more on relaxation and consciousness exploration. Call it consciousfulness.
Most meditation practices use a lot of the same techniques and vocabulary, so anyone who is familiar with Mindfulness will feel quite comfortable with our system. But no, it is not properly Mindfulness Meditation, so we don’t call it that. 

I have had some training in Mindfulness techniques and use an app that employs it quite effectively. I believe it is a powerful tool in a therapeutic setting or when taught by a qualified practitioner. I think you should be wary of anything that claims to be Mindfulness outside of therapy. It is maybe a part of the whole at best, but usually a buzzword without any useful connection to proper meditation. 

Now any little bit helps, so don’t just run away from youtube videos that claim to be mindful just because I said so. Just realize you aren’t getting what the powerful ACTUAL Mindfulness Meditation can deliver in the therapeutic setting. 

Hope this answers any questions about Mindfulness and our programs
