Mindfulness is the practice of non-judgemental awareness of the present moment.
A misconception about mindfulness meditation is that it involves “emptying the mind.” On the contrary, mindfulness gives one’s busy mind a point of focus that is grounded in the present moment.
Much of our suffering is caused by an unhelpful focus on the past or the imagined future. The human tendency to operate on “auto pilot” often means that we miss out on being present to our current experience. Mindfulness helps us to “wake up” to the present moment, to observe our thoughts and feelings and to choose how we respond. It can reduce the “noise” in our minds and bring more joy to our lives.
