But, you may be wondering: What is Mindfulness? Put simply, “Mindfulness is a powerful but simple tool – focusing your awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting your feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations. This powerful technique is even more impactful when practiced outdoors, in nature, lowering your blood pressure, stress levels, and heart rate and improving your immune system, and well-being. Mindfulness will also help decrease anxiety and depression and help to balance your nervous system.” (Heather Sullivan, mindfulgreenhouston.com).

So, please, join us and take advantage of our wonderful nature preserve as well as the benefit of Mindfulness.
