WHAT IS MINDFULNESS MEDITATION?

Mindfulness is the quality or state of being conscious or aware of something and, developed as a therapeutic technique, it is a mental state achieved by focusing one’s awareness on the present moment while acknowledging and accepting one’s feelings, thoughts and bodily sensations.   Just like going to the gym, or working out, is a practice that can make you stronger or more flexible, meditation is a practice that, over time, can develop the two key components of being mindful:  awareness and acceptance.
