Mindfulness - the practice of being in the present moment. The art of paying attention to the present moment on purpose with kindness and curiosity. It can be practiced at any time and anywhere.
Mindfulness practice is as a way to tune into your body, breath, and mind. It is not about having an empty mind, but simply noticing in a contemplative way whatever is there, thoughts and all.
Some people find mindfulness challenging - or just haven’t tried it. The addition of relaxing music can help assist you to stay in the present, while simultaneously helping you to connect with calm music as a source of strength and gentle focus. Soothing, relaxing music can be a powerful way to experience the present moment.
A key fundamental of mindfulness practice is to focus your attention on your breath whilst you inhale and exhale. Your eyes may be open or closed, or you can maintain a soft gaze, with your eyes partially closed but not focusing on anything in particular. Relaxing calm music can help us to achieve a comfortable relaxed state of mind.
You may also find that listening to a familiar music playlist can be a sort of touchstone; a way to continually reconnect to your inner self where gentle pausing and noticing can happen with ease.
