“Mindfulness” has become an everyday word – articles, books, podcasts about it seem to be everywhere – even your GP has recommended it. But what is it?

A vast body of research has outlined its significant benefits, including a reduction of stress, depression and anxiety levels, more resilience, improved immune response, heart health and blood pressure, better focus, clarity and working memory.
