Mindfulness is a science based practice that gets individuals to experience life in the present moment through a nonjudgmental lens, where one can notice emotions, thoughts, physical sensations, and all of life's experiences in a healthy non-reactive way. Mindfulness has been scientifically proven to improve the brain’s optimal functioning.

Studies show that mindfulness rewires the brain and specifically decreases activity in the area of the brain most affected by stress and trauma, “MRI scans show that after an eight-week course of mindfulness practice, the brain’s 'fight or flight' center, the amygdala, appears to shrink. This primal region of the brain, associated with fear and emotion, is involved in the initiation of the body’s response to stress. As the amygdala shrinks, the prefrontal cortex – associated with higher order brain functions such as awareness, concentration, and decision-making – becomes thicker.” Mindfulness literally changes the architecture of the brain so it can provide mental and emotional well-being.
