Mindfulness, by definition, is the process of bringing your attention to experiences that are, or were, occurring during the present moment. This process is typically achieved through the practice of meditation, as well as other training and methods.
A Peaceful Practice With Deep Roots
Mindfulness as a term relates to the name Sati, which is an important, and very significant, element of the Buddhist life and traditions. In the Buddhist ways, mindfulness is used to teach and develop knowledge, self-awareness and wisdom, which is intended to lead to enlightenment, and the freedom from suffering.
There is a relationship between mindfulness and overall mental and psychological health, and well being. Mindfulness, and the tools associated with it, when implemented correctly, can be applied and used to reduce stress and worry in one’s life.
Becoming a mindful practitioner is a great way to achieve love, self-awareness and to teach others the way.
