Becoming more aware of the present moment can help us enjoy the world around us more and understand ourselves better.
When we become more aware of the present moment, we begin to experience things that we have been taking for granted.
Mindfulness also allows us to become more aware of the stream of thoughts and feelings that we experience and to see how we can become entangled in that stream in ways that are not helpful.
This lets us stand back from our thoughts and start to see their patterns. Gradually, we can train ourselves to notice when our thoughts are taking over and realize that thoughts are simply "mental events" that do not have to control us.
Mindfulness can help us deal with issues more productively. We can ask, "Is trying to solve this by brooding about it helpful, or am I just getting caught up in my thoughts?"
Awareness of this kind may also help us notice signs of stress or anxiety earlier and deal with them better.

The Body Scan is supported by a short book describing how you can use Natural Healing
The purpose of this book is to present an overview of the natural healing scene today, so that each person can come to an informed conclusion about this important subject. The fact that you are reading this book shows that you are ready to approach the subject with an open mind. Although we will be treating these methods with a respectful and sympathetic attitude, our goal is not to convince or to prove, but to describe what is out there.
It will be up to you to draw your conclusions and extend your research to find out more about any methods that you may find interesting or promising. Nonetheless, to support this program, I have recorded a Mindful Body scan MP3 exercise utilizing deep relaxation. My clients have found this extremely useful in their search for internal awareness and natural healing support. I hope you do too.
