Mindfulness is a systematic practice of bringing purposeful, non-judgmental attention to one's present moment experience. By cultivating the ability to direct one's attention in a skillful way, a person simultaneously develops the ability to:
- Reduce stress and suffering from physical or emotional causes.
- Glean greater joy and fulfillment from pleasurable experiences.
- Relinquish harmful and unhealthy habits.
- Access inner sources of peace and wisdom.
- Feel a sense of stability and freedom despite inevitable changes in life
