We hope you are enjoying practising mindfulness and finding benefits from your practice.

By now, you'll understand that mindfulness is a gentle and kind practice, which accepts all of our thoughts and feelings (both good and not so good) and our practice simply returns us back each time to noticing the present moment, without judgement.

There's no wrong, there's no right. There's also nothing to aim for, or get wrong, or to strive towards.

Mindfulness is a patient practice, that is best experienced over a period of time. It is considered more like a long journey, than a fast race.

It's a long gentle journey into observing not only the present moment, but also along the way, noticing without judgement, our thoughts running through our mind and our feelings and emotions as they pass through our experience.

It's good to remember that mindfulness is not a quick fix.

Mindfulness is not only about seeking relaxation (though that is welcome when it does show up).

Mindfulness is the gentle and kind observation of the present moment-without us agreeing or disagreeing with it (so no judgement needed at all, no agreeing or disagreeing, liking or disliking of our experience is needed).

It's a bit like mindfulness is a scenic journey, it is not a fast race to a finish line. Just take your time with it, nice, slow and with ease.

Be slow, be kind, be gentle with yourself as you notice the present moment.

Carry (if you can) the lessons of mindfulness with you throughout your day and see if they make a difference.
