Principles
Learn to be present through your five senses which are always present. These exercises use skills such as "observe and describe" to help you be in this moment, and not in your reaction by practicing nonjudgment.
Common techniques include body scans, mindful breathing, and the five step method.
Nonjudgement, consistency, and patience all play a key role in staying mindful.
