• Mindfulness-Based Therapy

    Mindfulness-Based Therapy was designed for people who suffer from repeated bouts of depression or chronic unhappiness. It is also useful for everyone which research consistently showing the positive effects on our minds, bodies, and relationships. It combines the ideas of cognitive therapy with meditative practices and attitudes based on the cultivation of mindfulness.

    Mindfulness is a state of active, open attention to the present. This state is described as observing one’s thoughts and feelings without judging them as good or bad.
