Mindfulness as a subject has already been widely researched over time. According to UCLA Health, recent studies over the last ten years show that mindful practice will "…address health issues, such as lower blood pressure and boost the immune system; increase attention and focus, including aid those suffering from ADHD."(1) People can benefit greatly from developing their mindfulness in Philadelphia.
Over time, patients at the Mindful Stress & Anxiety Management Center have shown lower stress levels, improved relationships, better psychological flexibility, increased openness, improved memory and attention skills, improved sleep cycles, better self-awareness and more effective emotional regulation.
According to the Harvard Health Publications, stress can be defined as "an automatic physical response to any stimulus that requires you to adjust to change." (2) With a broad definition like this, it's clear why individuals seek mindfulness training throughout Philadelphia.
Mindfulness training and practice has been around for thousands of years. In the past, many cultures practiced meditation and other stress reduction exercises. Many of these techniques as well as other researched techniques are used today in contemporary stress management and mindful practice sessions.
