The National Institute for Clinical Excellence has recommended mindfulness-based cognitive therapy for treatment of recurrent depression since 2004.

There are numerous clinical studies that have indicated that mindfulness can do the following:

• A 70% reduction in anxiety
• Fewer visits to your GP
• Longer and better quality sleep, with fewer sleep disturbances
• A reduction in negative feelings like anger, tension and depression

Mindfulness can be  particularly useful stress management tool for organisations.
