Mindfulness

In mindfulness trainer Jim Walsh’s words, “…mindfulness is really something quite simple: paying attention in the present moment without judging.” Far too often we spend our time occupied with the future or the past, not fully appreciating the present moment.


Mindfulness is a way to tap into what we’re currently experiencing and feeling.

ANXIETY, ADDICTION, & SUICIDE

Did you know that 22 veterans commit suicide every day? Some other painful truths:

  • 40 million Americans suffer from anxiety disorders

  • 21.5 million suffer from drug and alcohol addiction

  • 5.4 million of our youth experience high anxiety and 1.18 million have attempted suicide

  • In addition to the tragedy and emotional toll, there’s also a fiscal cost to society. Anxiety disorders are estimated to cost society $210 billion per year and addiction $442 billion.

    A MINDFUL SOLUTION

    Imagine a world where everyone practiced mindfulness. Imagine the 40 Million Americans who suffer from anxiety disorder experiencing relief or even freedom from their symptoms through mindful practices. Imagine veterans, youth, and addicts using mindful practices to reduce their suffering and manage negative/harmful practices.Imagine yourself experiencing relief from stress, increased brain function, and improved overall health from incorporating mindfulness into easy things you do every day. It sounds too good to be true, but there’s a significant body of research that supports just those results from simple mindfulness practices.
