Mindfulness means paying attention, in a particular way; on purpose, in the present moment and non-judgementally.
From ancient Buddhist & Yoga practices
(Kabat-Zinn, 1990)
Developed by Professor Jon Kabat-Zinnin University of Massachusetts
Grasp your hands really tight and hold for 10 seconds, then release and pay attention to how your hands feel. Keep your attention focused on the feeling for as long as you can.
Focus all you attention in this moment and be aware whatever is happening right nownon-judgementally
Wherever you go, there you are
Do we need to be like this?
