Mindfulness poems help to focus on the moment and get in touch with your feelings. They are also a fun way to relax and de-stress.
Poetry asks us to slow down and pay close is yoga meditation to the words, the sounds and the meaning of each word. This type of intense focus translates well to mindfulness meditation, where you learn to concentrate on one thing and work to exclude distracting thoughts and sensations from your awareness. Poetry can also evoke vivid imagery and sensual experiences, which helps to strengthen your mindfulness of the body, which is another key element of this type of meditation.
