Outcomes of mindfulness:
acceptance, commitment to self-reflection and leads to in the moment regulation of thoughts and feelings.
Relaxation
Relaxing the body and mind can be achieved through breathing and or muscle activation.
The purpose of relaxation is to decrease the body and mind from tension and arousal be it fear, anger, anxiety or hopelessness.
Relaxation benefits include:
More enjoyment with daily activities, alertness, better sleep, improved self-image, and interpersonal relationships.
Meditation
Meditation is described as a mind and body technique that increases one’s ability to contemplate on an issue or practice self-reflection; ultimately to achieve a higher level of spiritual awareness.
Meditation is similar to mindfulness; however, the individual can choose to have meditation delivered through the use of music or voice. A popular form of meditation is loving kindness whereby the individual focus on sending good thoughts to the universe.
The goal of meditation is to increase body mind calmness and serenity which assist in living in the present moment.
