Mindfulness

Mindfulness is a type of meditation where one become very aware of what they are sensing and feeling. Mindfulness is a way of relaxing and reducing stress and being present in the moment.

Relaxation

The Relaxation response is opposite of the stress response.  It's a process that decreases the stress effects of the mind and body and helps you to cope with everyday stress.  This results in slower breathing, reduced heart rate and clearer thoughts.
