Mindfulness and How to Practice It at Cerro Verde Mirador

Mindfulness is the ability that every human being has to pay attention, in a conscious way, to the experience of the present moment with interest, curiosity, and acceptance.

In other words, through its practice, it becomes an anchor for living with mindfulness, love, and inspiration, allowing us to fully enjoy who we are, what we have, and what surrounds us right now.

The goal is to remain free from judgment regarding our emotions, sensations, feelings, or thoughts, by listening to our inner selves at every moment.

In terms of its practice, we can identify five fundamental pillars that serve as a source of joy, health, and self-awareness, enabling us to discover and interpret what is happening within us and understand how it is reflected in the outside world.

The Pillars of Mindfulness

Mindfulness: living the present moment consciously today, allowing for silence.
Openness to experience: cThe ability to observe each experience as if it were the first time.
Acceptance: living fluidly with trust, without resistance or preconceptions toward any experience.
Let it go: live without attachments, let go, recognizing that nothing lasts forever.
Intention:Follow what our heart tells us when we practice mindfulness, understanding that we are a whole.

What are the benefits of mindfulness?

By incorporating mindfulness as a lifestyle allows us to bring about the internal changes we desire, strengthening self-esteem and cultivating a healthy, resilient, empathetic, and happy mind and heart.

In addition, it helps us combat stress and anxiety by inducing a state of calm, serenity, and mental clarity, which lowers cortisol levels.

When you wake up, do a full-body scan: observe how each part of your body comes alive as you scan from bottom to top, starting with your toes and working your way up to your head.
Take a mindful shower: pay attention to how the water feels against your skin, its temperature, and its intensity and pressure.
Five minutes of mindful breathing on the balcony: Find a comfortable position with your back straight, and focus on your breath and the entire process—such as the temperature of the air as you inhale and exhale, and how your abdomen and lungs expand and contract, among other things.
Discover your first drink of the day or your breakfast drink: experience a drink like you've never done before—first, look at it, touch it, listen to it, taste it, and then drink it mindfully.
Connect with the natural surroundings of Cerro Verde: Focus your attention using all your senses; try closing your eyes to heighten your hearing and sense of smell, then open them to observe the colors and touch what’s around you, discovering the sensations and emotions it evokes.
