Mindfulness

Mindfulness is a practice of attention, focus, and clarity. We intentionally bring awareness to the present moment and our direct experience. At the same time, it's a gentle, loving practice. In meditation we cultivate curiosity (rather than judgment) toward ourselves and the experience we're having.

This often means that we notice the striving, judging, worried, harsh, or otherwise imperfect actions of our minds and emotions and bodies. We recognize them with awareness. We realize that these habits and patterns are not us, they are just thoughts, feelings, sensations.
