Mindfulness is a wellbeing practice that involves paying gentle, non-judgemental attention to the present moment, noticing your breath, body, thoughts and surroundings as they are. It can be practised informally during everyday activities or through more structured exercises such as breathing awareness, body scans and short meditations. In the UK it is offered by mindfulness teachers, wellbeing coaches and some therapists, often as one-to-one sessions, group courses or app-guided programmes.
