MINDFULNESS EDUCATION

What is Mindfulness?

Mindfulness is the practice of being fully present—intentionally tuning in to the here and now with curiosity and without judgment. It invites us to bring gentle awareness to our thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations, fostering clarity, resilience, and compassion.

At FCJI, we offer mindfulness training for both children and adults through a variety of accessible practices that help build focus, emotional regulation, and inner calm. These practices include:

• Awareness Meditation: Observing the breath, body, emotions, and thoughts with non-judgmental presence—whether seated in meditation or during everyday activities.
• Walking Meditation: Moving slowly and deliberately while focusing attention on the sensation of each step.
• Mindful Eating: Eating with full attention—savoring each bite and noticing flavors, textures, and bodily sensations.
• Body Scan Practice: Gently guiding awareness through different parts of the body while seated or lying down.
• Mindful Listening: Being fully present when listening to others, without reacting, interrupting, or forming judgments.

Mindfulness helps children improve attention in the classroom, manage anxiety, and strengthen social-emotional skills. For adults, it supports stress reduction, improved focus, emotional balance, and better relationships.

Learn how FCJI empowers individuals of all ages with mindfulness tools that support emotional well-being, build resilience, focus and supports lifelong personal growth.
