I teach mindfulness skills during my MFR sessions with clients. It helps them to receive the treatment with improved results and gives them tools they can use out in their daily lives as well!
What Is Mindfulness?
Mindfulness is the practice of paying purposeful, non-judgmental attention to the present moment.
It means gently noticing thoughts, sensations, emotions, and the environment as they are, without trying to change or analyze them.
Mindfulness is awareness with acceptance, which is a shift from reacting automatically to responding consciously.
It brings us back from mental noise, past stories, and future worries into the direct experience of now.
Common ways to practice mindfulness include:
• Breathing awareness
• Body scanning or somatic awareness
• Mindful movement (like walking, yoga, or Myofascial Release)
• Meditation and guided imagery
• Mindful observation of sensations, emotions, and thoughts

How Mindfulness Benefits Mental Health
Research consistently shows that mindfulness:
• Reduces stress, anxiety, and overwhelm by calming the nervous system
• Improves emotional regulation, helping us respond instead of react
• Decreases rumination and negative thought loops
• Increases resilience when dealing with challenges
• Improves focus, clarity, and mental performance
• Enhances self-awareness, self-compassion, and inner peace
• Reduces symptoms of depression and trauma through nervous system regulation
Mindfulness increases activity in the prefrontal cortex (rational, calm thinking) while reducing reactivity in the amygdala (fear and stress center), which helps the brain rewire patterns toward safety and balance.

How Mindfulness Benefits Physical Health
Mindfulness creates measurable changes in the body, including:
• Reduces muscle tension and pain sensitivity
• Lowers blood pressure and heart rate
• Improves immune system function
• Decreases inflammation
• Improves sleep quality
• Supports healthy hormonal and nervous system balance
• Enhances healing and recovery
Mindfulness activates the parasympathetic nervous system (rest-digest-restore mode), allowing the body to repair tissues, detoxify, digest properly, and regulate pain pathways.
Because body and mind are inseparable, mindfulness improves health by:
• Increasing interoception (awareness of internal body signals)
• Improving vagal tone
• Releasing stored tension and patterns held in the fascial system
• Returning the body to coherence, balance, and safety

In Simple Terms
Mindfulness reconnects you with your body and the present moment, helping you feel calmer, clearer, and more in control of your health.
When the mind becomes quiet, the body can heal.
