I have made another blog about the benefits of mindfulness, but I thought I put a list of the wonderful things Mindfulness cultivates. There is always more to add, experience, learn, evolving when it comes to mindfulness, so I wanted to make this list. I would like to list the beauty of why mindfulness is an important practice to have in our lives. I put them in three categories, what it encompasses, what it cultivates, and what it limits. I hope this is helpful.
