Mindfulness involves non-judgmental moment-to-moment self-awareness of physical and mental states– it is the ability to be fully conscious and aware. Within the past decade, scientific interest in mindfulness practices has increased. Mindfulness has a long history: originating over 2,500 years ago in Indian Buddhist tradition [1]. By the mid-twentieth century, mindfulness became secularized and incorporated into psychological intervention methods to improve emotional well-being [2]. Today, mindfulness-based intervention methods are recognized as successful approaches in treating a variety of psychological disorders, including depression, anxiety, and addiction. A more precise understanding of mindfulness can benefit the refinement of mindfulness-based intervention methods.
