Mindfulness
Mindfulness is the psychological process of bringing one's attention to experiences occurring in the present moment, [1] [2] [3] which one can develop through the practice of meditation and through other training. [2] [4] [5] The term "mindfulness” is derived from the Pali term sati , "memory," [6] "retention," [7] "mindfulness, alertness, self-possession," [6] which is a significant element of Buddhist traditions, [8] [9] while the concept is related to Zen , Vipassanā , and Tibetan meditation techniques. [10] [11] While "mindfulness" has been translated and interpreted as "bare cognition," in a Buddhist context it has a wider meaning and purpose, related to vipassana , namely discerning what is beneficial and what is not, and calming the mind by this discernment. [12] [13] [14] Individuals who have contributed to the popularity of mindfulness in the modern Western context include Thích Nhất Hạnh (1926– ), Herbert Benson (1935– ), Jon Kabat-Zinn (1944– ), and Richard J. Davidson (1951– ). [15] [16] [17]

The practice of mindfulness involves being aware moment-to-moment, of one’s subjective conscious experience from a first-person perspective. [1] When practising mindfulness, one becomes aware of one’s " stream of consciousness ". The skill of mindfulness can be gradually developed using meditational practices that are described in detail in the Buddhist tradition. The Five-Aggregate Model, an ancient link between mind and body, is a helpful theoretical resource that could guide mindfulness interventions. [2] The term "mindfulness" is derived from the Pali-term sati [3] which is an essential element of Buddhist practice, including vipassana , satipaṭṭhāna and anapanasati . It has been popularized in the West by Jon Kabat-Zinn with his mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) program. [4] |
