What is mindfulness?
Mindfulness is the innate human capacity to be fully aware of the present moment. Most of the time the mind is occupied with planning the future or reviewing the past. Mindful attention is on the present as it is unfolding in this very moment.
We practice mindfulness by bringing our full attention to the present moment with an attitude of curiosity, openness and kindness. It’s easy to be mindful. Anyone can do it! But it’s often hard to remember to be mindful! Greater relaxation, ease and joyfulness are common effects. Recognizing our common humanity, one can learn to treat oneself and others with more compassion.
