What is mindfulness? Does it help with anxiety? Can it help relieve stress? Is mindfulness a religious practice or is it secular? Is it used in therapy? What is MBCT — is it part of mindfulness? Is mindfulness difficult to learn? And, if I am interested in trying it out, how do I get started? Curious about any of these questions? Well, then you might want to watch this video.
