Appreciate Your Body

Mindfulness Practice

Mindfulness practice invites us to focus on the present moment and be aware of our thoughts, feelings, body and environment. Regular practice can help us cope with stress and support emotional and mental well-being. Mindfulness can help us focus and concentrate, decrease stress and anxiety and improve our sleep, communication and relationships.

These practices, developed by the Osher Center for Integrative Health at the University of Cincinnati, can help us focus in this moment or start a regular mindfulness practice.
