What is mindfulness?



"Mindfulness" is nonjudgmental, present 

moment awareness –– being here, now.

To practice mindfulness, we pay attention to 

what we're experiencing, moment to moment,

 without judgment or expectation. We simply 

observe whatever we're aware of, letting the 

moment be just as it is.

When we're mindful, we often notice things we 

usually ignore, such as:

      ... Noticing the sounds you're hearing right 


now ...


      ... or the feeling of your eyes blinking, 

reading this text ...


      ... or your feeling of sitting here in this chair ...

      ... Can you feel your next breath beginning? 


.........
Here you are ... sitting, breathing, being aware 

of this moment ...

This is mindfulness.
