Originating from early Buddhist teachings, mindfulness is a way of being that encourages openness, patience and acceptance to an unfolding situation, encouraging a mental
state focused on the present moment.
The dictionary defines mindfulness as «the quality or
state of being conscious or aware of something» or «a mental
state achieved by
focusing one's awareness
on the
present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting one's feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations, used as a therapeutic technique.»
