Mindfulness, a method that helps determine focus and priorities and enables easier and faster focusing on the present moment, has existed in the world for 40 years. It is recognized and effective, and as of this year it is also part of the regular school programs in the UK. We practice in several Mindfulness centers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team of the Novi Sad organization Bujoo consists of Vesna Lakovi\u0107 and Andre van Kempen<\/a>. Vesna explains that the method they practice is a very powerful practice of attention training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“By training attention with the help of mindfulness, we learn how to be present here and now. By focusing on internal and external experiences without judgment, we learn to accept those experiences without trying to change, suppress, or stop them. This practice is powerful because it helps us learn how to stop in our excessive thoughts, worries, thoughts about the past, the future and everything that distracts us from our immediate experience in the present, and causes stress and unpleasant feelings. “<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mindfulness translated from English means – full consciousness. The popularization of this method in the last century is due to Dr. John Kabat Zin, who in the late eighties in America designed and implemented the Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
