#Mindfulness also involves acceptance, meaning that we pay attention to our thoughts and feelings without judging them—without believing, for instance, that there's a “right” or “wrong” way to think or feel in a given moment.  

Mindfulness is the psychological process of purposely bringing one's attention to experiences occurring in the present moment without judgment,[1][2][note 1][3][4] which one can develop through the practice of meditation and through other training.[2][5][6] Mindfulness is derived from sati, a significant element of #Buddhist traditions,[7][8] and based on #Zen, Vipassanā, and Tibetan meditation techniques.[9][10][note 2] Individuals who have contributed to the popularity of mindfulness in the modern Western context include Thích Nhất Hạnh (1926– ), Herbert Benson (1935– ), Jon Kabat-Zinn (1944– ), and Richard J. Davidson (1951– )
