Mindfulness is a process of paying attention to the present moment without judgment. This skill can be developed through repeated practice. Mindfulness can be used as a standalone therapy or to complement other forms of therapy. For example, a trained psychologist can work with a patient to develop greater awareness of their present-moment experiences.

Practicing mindfulness, a practice of active nonjudgmental awareness can be beneficial for reducing stress. It involves paying attention to your present-moment experiences with openness, curiosity, kindness, and flexibility. Mindfulness is practiced in different forms, including formal sitting meditation. It requires an upright posture, a strong heart, and a nonjudgmental awareness.
