What is Mindfulness?

"Mindfulness means paying attention in a particular way:

on purpose, in the present moment, and nonjudgmentally." 

-- Jon Kabat-Zinn

Mindfulness has been shown to be a helpful and effective way to bring relief to some common sources of suffering in the world, such as depression, anxiety, chronic pain, addictive behaviors, and interpersonal conflict. Mindfulness helps us develop an attitude of acceptance and kindness to ourselves and to others.
