How does Mindfulness compare to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or motivational interviewing?

Sir Anthony says that it can help but we are all different and it may not be appropriate for everyone. He talks about how the guide could even rotate around a group - which he suggests may be effective.

Sir Anthony explains that he’s never been able to define Mindfulness despite practicing for 40 years. He says it’s about being connected with your senses, knowing you are present. He also explains that this ability improves with practice.

Sir Anthony explains how Mindfulness is most accessible at this point in human history. The use of mobile devices has provided access to talks and Apps etc which make Mindfulness accessible. He also warns that these devices can also work against being Mindful.

Sir Anthiony explains that the more used to we are at being still, the less likely we are to engage in activity which is damaging. The more Mindful we become, the more able we become to resist unhealthy behaviours. He talks about learning to be content through Mindfulness.

Sir Anthony explains that Mindfulness has to be right for everyone as Mindfulness as an end is about truly in touch with our thought and bodies and relationships. To be full awake. He does say that it may not necessarily be the right time to embark on the journey.

As an end, Mindfulness is a state of being fulling who you are. The device of Mindfulness is the process of getting to that state. He explains that if the device gets boring or tiring then it isn't the right device for you.
