Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction
Mindfulness Meditation for Coping with Stress
Mindfulness based stress reduction is a great way to deal with stress.
Mindfulness meditation can be practiced anywhere, and mindfulness, or being in the moment, is effective for coping with stress.
Being conscious in the present moment is a form of mindfulness meditation.
And mindful meditation is a basic meditation that is easy to use each and every day.
When the Present Moment is fully experienced and appreciated you feel relaxed. Your stress melts away and you will experience the benefits of meditation.
The short video that follows will introduce you to mindfulness in plain English.

Here is what Wayne Dyer has to say about living in the moment:
Present-moment living, getting in touch with your "now," is at the heart of effective living. When you think about it, there really is no other moment you can live.
Now is all there is, and the future is just another present moment to live when it arrives. One thing is certain, you cannot live it until it does appear.
What is Mindfulness?
Mindful Meditation, or mindfulness meditation, is named "mindful" because you are fully aware and totally conscious of the present moment.
During the present, you don’t have to worry about the future and you don’t have to keep tormenting yourself about the past. You can relax. You are being mindful.
The only moment you truly have is NOW. The moment you are experiencing, is the only moment that exists in your true reality, and the only moment in which you can take action to get what you want.
Children Practice Mindfulness
Children experience living in the Present Moment every day.
Instinctively children already know this basic meditation! If you watch a child carefully, you will note that he does not constantly berate himself about what happened yesterday--nor does he worry about what will happen next week.
Children live entirely in the present. They are mindful!
As we grow into adults we gain responsibilities that preoccupy our minds. Adults find themselves living past events over and over. And they worry about what MIGHT happen in the future!

When I worked on a hospital mental health unit, we used to discuss the “wouldas”, “shouldas” and “couldas”.
Our clients were often literally tormenting themselves, because they did not see themselves as being PERFECT enough! In fact, most were sensitive, caring people who were being too hard on themselves.
Adults replay the past, only to find all the things that they might have done better.
Or, they worry about what MIGHT happen. Causing themselves even more anguish.
If you think about it, most of the time the awful things that you imagine might happen--never do happen! And all that worrying was for nothing!
Leaving those negative thoughts behind, will help you to be happier, healthier, and have higher self esteem. Not to mention the stress relief you’ll find!
Learning to practice mindfulness based stress reduction only has an upside.
You will become more relaxed, happier and mentally healthier if you can learn to live most of your moments in the present!
