Many of you may be asking, "What the heck is mindfulness in the first place." I know that was my initial reaction when I first introduced to the concept a few years back. Well, this isn't some new idea. The concept of mindfulness has been around for over a thousand years. Being mindful means living in each moment and experiencing it fully. It teaches you how to become fully aware of yourself and your surroundings, while also improving focus and attentiveness.

Story
It’s not easy to answer the question “What do Buddhists believe?” because Buddhism is actually a family of religions that have developed and evolved in different parts of the world, across different historical periods. Most of all, Buddhism is simply focused on living a meaningful life that is marked by kindness toward yourself and others. It’s about the process of figuring out what actually works in order to achieve these things.
