Mindfulness is a buzzword these days, and rightly so. It was made popular by Jon Kabat-Zinn who worked with chronic pain patients who could not be helped by western medicine anymore. Through the practice of mindfulness, these patients learned to regain quality of life. The western world has embraced ancient wisdom that tells us the development of awareness for the present moment creates calmness and clarity to be prepared for life, and enjoy life as it comes.

Pillars of mindfulness are acceptance, beginner’s mind, non-judgment, patience, trust, non-permanence, and letting go.

Mindfulness is not a theoretical concept; it is a system to be experienced and practiced. Mindfulness is the awareness that arises from paying attention in the present moment of thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and the surrounding environment; through a gentle, nurturing lens without judgment. The opposite of being mindful is being on autopilot, where unnoticed habits, procrastination, and thought patterns influence one’s level of vitality.
