Mindfulness is a simple form of meditation which has been used for many centuries by the Buddhist community and has been integrated into Western medicine as its benefits were scientifically recognised. Benefits include: Regular sessions of mindfulness can help reduce anxiety, stress, depression, exhaustion and irritability. Memory improves, reaction times become faster and mental and physical stamina increase. Meditators are happier and more contented, while being far less likely to suffer from psychological distress. Mindfulness improves working memory, creativity, attention span and reaction speeds. It also enhances mental and physical stamina and resilience. Meditation improves the immune system.
