Oncio’s Post

What is Mindfulness? Mindfulness is the practice of bringing your awareness and attention to your present moment experience in a non-judgemental way (Kabat-Zinn 2013). When you are mindful, you bring your awareness to what you are experiencing moment to moment via your five senses – physical sensations, sights, sounds, smells and taste – as well as to your thoughts, emotions, urges and behaviours. This inner landscape is ever changing and impermanent. Mindfulness can help you to meet yourself and your experience with kindness and curiosity, lessening resistance, stress and struggle to the difficult and helping to calm your mind, body and emotions (Feldman, Kuyken and Segal 2019). Much of the time people which spend a lot of time in their heads, thinking about both the future and the past and are seldom living with a sense of embodied presence (Williams and Penman 2011, Feldman) . The General Information Hub on the Explore screen of the Oncio app is full of informative and comprehensive articles, including an article on Mindfulness written by Dr Caroline Hoffman. In each article we provide for a specific therapy or approach in integrative oncology, we offer expert input and direct people to appropriate professional organisations.
