The Science

Mindfulness training was established in the States in the 1970s. Since then, there has been considerable research into Mindfulness including assessments using control groups. There is now vast scientific proof of its efficacy. MRI scans of the grey matter of the brain's hippocampus, the area of the brain associated with learning, memory, compassion, introspection and self-awareness, have been shown it to increase in participants of Mindfulness programs. Conversely, the grey matter of the Amygdala, which is known to play an important part in stress and anxiety, has been shown to decrease. Cutting edge companies such as Apple and Google are testimony to the effectiveness of mindfulness at work. Mindfulness can help people to live superlative lives. In the workplace it helps them to build teamwork, enhance creativity & communication and resolve conflict.
