• Definition of Mindfulness per Jon Kabat-Zinn (Author of The Unexpected Power of Mindfulness Meditation) on Medium.com:

“Mindfulness is the awareness that arises when we non-judgmentally pay attention in the present moment.” says Jon Kabat-Zinn

“Mindfulness, which includes tenderness and kindness toward ourselves, restores dimensions of our being. These have never actually been missing, just that we have been missing them, we have been absorbed elsewhere. When your mind clarifies and opens, your heart also clarifies and opens.”
