Research shows that practicing mindfulness improves mental and physical health, cultivates compassion, deepens relationships, and reduces negative emotions. By living life in the moment and paying attention to thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations that are often ignored, you can train the brain into healthy patterns that improve quality of life.

Mindfulness practice reduces burnout in healthcare professionals by allowing them to manage stress more effectively. In addition, those trained in mindfulness techniques can better help their patients cope with negative emotions, anxiety and stress in a healthy, positive way.
