Health Watch: What is Mindfulness? [Video]

Mindfulness is about being aware of your thoughts and feelings in the present moment. It’s about being present – focusing on what’s happening now instead of worrying about the past or future. Practicing mindfulness has been shown to have a powerful and positive effect on physical and mental well-being in a variety of conditions. Hear from Ginny Wholley, a certified instructor of mindfulness-based programs at the Center for Mindfulness, as she provides an overview of mindfulness and its many benefits including mental clarity. The Center for Mindfulness at UMass Memorial Health is the birthplace of the original mindfulness-based stress reduction program, has been completed by more than 25,000 people, and has positively impacted countless more worldwide.
