Defining Mindfulness Sample Clauses

Defining Mindfulness. Mindfulness is also most commonly described as one being aware of what is taking place in the present. There are many scientific definitions of mindfulness and there are minor differences between them. The term ‘mindfulness’ originally stems from the Pali word ‘sati’, meaning ‘remembering’ or ‘to remember’ (Bodhi, 2000). Pali is the language, native to the southern regions of Asia, where the earliest Buddhist literature was written. The most common definition of mindfulness is by Xxx Xxxxx-Xxxx, “…paying attention in a particular way: on purpose, in the present moment, non-judgementally” (1994, p. 8). Other definitions include moment by moment awareness (Xxxxxx et al., 2005), keeping one’s consciousness alive to the present reality (Xxxx, 1976), attentional control (Xxxxxxxx, et al. 1995), a form of self-regulation of attention (Hassed, 2013), bringing ones awareness to current experiences through observing and attending to the change in thoughts, feelings, and sensations from moment to moment (Xxxxxx et al, 2004), and complete attention to one’s experience moment by moment (Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxxxx, 1999). Although there are various definitions, most appear to stem from Xxxxx-Xxxx’x 1994 definition. These definitions are meditative in nature, emphasising non-reactive awareness and concentration on one’s experiences and self. The main aim of mindfulness is to keep the mind fully grounded in the present moment and decrease any reactivity that experiences may cause. Mindfulness is a way of relating to positive, negative, and neutral experiences in the same way and showing no self-judgment. If this is achieved, suffering and pain is reduced and a sense of well-being increases (Xxxxxx, et al., 2005).
