What is Mindfulness Meditation?

What is mindfulness meditationMindfulness is full awareness of your thoughts, feelings and actions in each moment. It is the full presence and awareness of your experience without judgment. You pay attention to your outer and inner experience with acceptance, patience and compassion.

 

Mindfulness can be compared to self-awareness. You are aware of self. Consciously observing without judgment is what I like to describe as passive observation.

 

When you are mindful, you are completely self-aware, in the moment and in a state of non-judgment. You are just accepting and experiencing the moment. Being mindful (self-aware and passively observing) during meditation, will bring this awareness into your daily routine.

 

Specifically, mindfulness meditation involves focusing on sensations in your body in a mindful way. You are not trying to do anything or make any changes. You are simply observing in a non-judgmental way.
