2. Definition – Mindfulness
• Mindfulness is a type of meditation in which you focus on
being intensely aware of what you're sensing and feeling in
the moment, without interpretation or judgment. Practicing
mindfulness involves breathing methods, guided imagery, and
other practices to relax the body and mind and help reduce
stress.
