A frequently quoted working definition of mindfulness is the awareness to the unfolding of moment-to-moment experience that arises through “paying attention in a particular way: on purpose, in the present moment, and nonjudgmentally” (Kabat-Zinn, 1994, p. 4). The term “mindfulness” may be applied in several different ways: It can refer to a state of being aware, a psychological disposition, an activity aimed at improving mindfulness, such as mindfulness meditation, or a type of psychological processing (Bishop, Lau, Shapiro, Carlson, Anderson, Carmody, Segal, Abbey, Speca, Velting & Devins, 2004; Germer, Siegel, & Fulton, 2005; Kabat-Zinn, 1994; Sternberg, 2000).…

When we practice mindfulness, our thoughts tune into what we’re sensing in the present moment rather than rehashing the past or imagining the future. (Greater Good Foundation, 2013) “Although mindfulness originated as a Buddhist meditation practice (Kabat Zinn, 2003 p 145), its secular adaptations have recently received a great deal of interest in Western empirical phycology…
