1. Awareness
2. Of present Experience
3. With acceptance
I recently read about this study conducted by Dr. Sunjeev Kamboj, at the University College London in the United Kingdom, which provides evidence that people who drink alcohol heavily, when asked to practice mindfulness, drank less over the course of a week. Those who were asked to use relaxation techniques did not cut down their drinking. Below I have provided a link to more information about this study. How can mindfulness help you?
