About this ebook
What is mindfulness really?
It involves paying full attention to the present moment without judging our thoughts or feelings. Accepting them without thinking that there is a right or wrong way to think and feel. Being aware of where we are, what we are feeling, and not worrying about past or future problems.
Although the practice of mindfulness has its origins in Buddhist meditation, this practice does not have religious nuances. In addition, meditation is an intellectual exercise in which one aims to achieve a state of full attention in a thought, object, or in our own breathing. Thus, there are meditation techniques that focus on concentration and others that seek full awareness and acceptance.
