Mindfulness is the practice of being present and aware of your thoughts, feelings and physical sensations. It’s a type of meditation that helps you remove judgement or distractions and use a range of techniques, such as breathing, to ground yourself and reflect.
Mindfulness encourages you to be kinder and more accepting of yourself, which can be helpful for people living with MS and other neurological conditions. Learn more about how mindfulness can lead to a healthier mind.
Spirituality involves recognising a connection with something bigger than yourself. It can relate to religion but doesn’t always. Spirituality can give people a sense of peace, purpose, improve relationships and turn feelings of powerlessness into strength.
