"Learning mindfulness practices can greatly enhance a client"s awareness of their physical, emotional, and thought patterns, which provides an important foundation for identifying what areas most need addressing in treatment. Mindfulness skills also help clients develop more ability to focus on those internal experiences that are most helpful, while letting go of those that are not. Furthermore, increasing one"s mindfulness skills helps to lower stress, increase one"s sense of well-being, and improve decision-making. Breathing and body-focused practices are among the most common types of mindfulness practices used in therapy."
