Choosing Mindfulness
Mindfulness and Intention Training

What is mindfulness?
Mindfulness has many definitions resulting from an array of lineages, philosophies, and research methods. While largely derived from early Buddhist teachings, my approach is to draw out the essence of what is most relevant for today's world - in an accessible and completely secular way. Historical concepts are most useful when they answer questions that people are living with now.
Mindfulness is:
paying attention
to the present moment
on purpose
without judgment
with curiosity
It is the element of curiosity that transforms mere redirection of attention into wisdom and insight that then can lead to the benefits of mindfulness.
