Mindfulness therapy :
When you do Mindfulness therapy exercises you are asked to become more focused on something that you are normally less aware of. As a result, you become more aware of your reactions. An example would be asking you to become mindful of your breathing, sense of smell or body tension during a situation you feel stressed in.
Furthermore, as you continue practicing mindfulness therapy you become more emotionally and mentally self disciplined. As a result, you then begin to develop the ability to slow down emotional reactions. Consequently you then begin to develop the ability to change your way of thinking and responding in important situations.

I developed “Mind Yoga” as a form of mindfulness therapy. This helps clients experience the powerful benefits of mindfulness exercises and cognitive therapy. Most relevant are combining cognitive exercises that direct you to think in smart, positive, and helpful methods, while you perform mindfulness therapy exercises (breathing, rapid eye movements, visualizations, mantra). The result is the client feeling an immediate, powerful impact in how they feel and think.
