Mindfulness offers the opportunity to look at what is currently important and to  reflect on yourself.

In this talk we will be speaking about what mindfulness actually is (a practice for the brain) and what it‘s not (e.g. wearing special clothes, sitting in uncomfortable  positions for hours, following a guru ...), what science has to say about mindfulness in terms of physical and psychological health benefits and what happens if you practice it on a regular basis. We intend to make clear that mindfulness is nothing you have to spend hours on to get a benefit out of it. In fact, research has shown that short instances of mindfulness (under a minute) several times a day can change your brain so that you feel more relaxed, focused and resilient. We will be teaching different mindfulness exercises, discussing participants‘ experiences and
speaking about how to integrate those techniques into daily life.
