In quantum physics, the observer effect describes how the act of observing or measuring a quantum system inevitably alters that system’s state. This is a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics, where observation is not a passive act of simply noting a pre-existing condition, but rather an active interaction that changes the system being studied.

This is the magic that happens in mindfulness. In a mindful state we are able to observe our thoughts and emotions from a dispassionate state and by merely observing them, they change. We get to understand that anger, anxiety, desires and associated feelings and thoughts are not who we are, but an exaggerated survival mechanism of the body.

This active interaction effortlessly educates and alchemises our energies changing our emotions and thoughts and who we are, making us more emotionally intelligent, insightful and wise.
