Mindfulness is the practise of paying attention, on purpose, non-judgementally, to the present moment (John Kabit Zinn) often refered to as the art of Stillness. This may sound easy but in fact can be one of the hardest things we do, as our mind naturally wanders to, and gets distracted by, thoughts of things past and or future. We in turn become entangled with the feelings these thoughts bring with them, of regrets of things that have happened or fears of things that are yet to come and this in turn robs us of the present moment, which in and of itself is ok and so stops us paying attention to what is.
