MINDFULNESS MEANING


“Mindfulness means paying attention in a particular way, on purpose, in the present moment, and non-


judgmentally. This kind of awareness nurtures greater awareness, clarity and acceptance of present moment reality. It wakes us up to the fact that our lives unfold only in moments. If we are not fully present for many of these moments, we may not only miss what is most valuable in our lives but also fail to realize the richness and the depth of our possibilities for growth and


transformation.” Jon Kabat-Zinn


Mindfulness is the energy of being aware and awake to the present moment. It is the continuous practice of


touching life deeply in every moment of daily life. To be mindful is to be truly alive, present and at one with those around you and with what you are doing. ~ Thich Nhat Hanh


Mindfulness cultivates meta-awareness that can hold a focal point, like the centre of these concentric circles and at the same time it can hold a breadth of awareness, expanding outwards like the ripples on a pool when a pebble is dropped in. This shows us how we can narrow and broaden our attention.
