Mindfulness is the practice of paying full attention to the present moment with openness, curiosity, and without judgment. It involves observing thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations as they arise, allowing them to pass without clinging to or resisting them. Rooted in ancient contemplative traditions and supported by modern psychology, mindfulness helps reduce stress, improve focus, and enhance emotional regulation. By fostering a non-reactive awareness, it enables individuals to respond to life’s challenges with greater calm and clarity.
