What is Mindfulness
Mindfulness is paying attention or being aware
In a particular way\ Perhaps start with grounding, which is using our senses to stay connected to the current moment. Or your “particular way” could be tuning in to your breath or doing a body scan.\ On purpose\ Formal mindfulness practice is a mental exercise. We choose to do it. We intentionally choose where, when, and how to do it and for how long.\ In the moment\ The meditation is about what is happening right now. It is not about an idea or image. It is about what you are aware of in this moment.\ Non-judgmentally\ One of the aspects of mindfulness practice that many find most challenging is being non-judgmental, especially of ourselves and of our mindfulness practice.
