Let me share with you the best definition of mindfulness and its benefits that I’ve come across. Diane Poole-Heller shared it with us at the recent NICABM conference.
Mindfulness is the moment to moment awareness of present time, inner and outer experience, with a non-judgmental and 
non-evaluative stance.
Research has shown that a mindfulness practice helps develop all 9 functions of the Pre-Frontal Cortex.

Shitali breathing is great for when you are hot under the collar. Furthermore, it will literally cool you off on a hot day. Along with all the benefits of diaphragmatic breathing, this technique is thought to be particularly good for the eyes, ears, and throat and has a detoxifying effect. It also curbs the appetite. Use caution if you have arthritis since it cools the body.
Form a small opening with your lips by rolling the sides of your tongue together to create a tube. Stick your tongue out and inhale through the round opening, making a hissing sound. Breathe in as if you are drinking cool refreshing water in through a straw. Bring the tongue back inside the mouth. Breathe the warm air out through your nose slowly and evenly.
If your tongue does not roll, simply separate your teeth and lips slightly while breathing in over a flat tongue.
Continue until you have cooled down.

Why are mantras done out loud, whispering and silently and how does it help? When a mantra is spoken out loud, it primarily benefits the physical body. When it’s whispered, it benefits our mental/emotional nature. Our spiritual nature benefits from silent repetition.
If you experience memories of the past or thoughts about the future coming up in your mind. Simply notice them and release them with the mantra. This helps cleanse the subconscious mind.
If emotions come up, you can also incorporate them in the chanting, i.e. if you feel frustration, then chant out the frustration. Whatever you experience is okay. Don’t try to avoid, resist or control your experiences. Just notice what is happening and go through it. This is all part of the process.
SA – touch the thumbs to the index finger
Na – touch the thumbs to the ring finger
Repeat the finger movements throughout the meditation.
