"Mindfulness is the gentle effort to be continuously present with acceptance. Mindfulness does not ask you to have a blank mind, but rather, it is asking us to pay exquisite attention to our mind and get to know it. Mindfulness asks us to observe the busy mind, to become the Witness or the Seer of the mind’s endless games.• Jon Kabat-Zinn, a pioneer in bringing mindfulness to the medical world, defines it like this: “Mindfulness means paying attention in a particular way; on purpose in the present moment," and non-judgmentally.”
