The benefits of practicing mindfulness are many, and can be incorporated into daily life. It can help you focus during stressful moments, as well as in everyday activities, such as driving, walking, or swimming. Being in a natural setting such as a park or ocean can also help you tune in.

The most basic mindfulness technique involves observing the present moment. It involves being aware of your feelings and sensations, and then gently redirecting your attention if you notice that your mind is wandering. This practice can be particularly useful in groups, since it helps to build empathy and understanding among group members.
