What is Mindfulness — Really

Mindfulness is the practice of bringing the mind into contact with the present moment — where the body already is. It is not about achieving silence or stopping thought. It is about returning, again and again, to now.

“People think that mindfulness or meditation is stopping to think. It has nothing to do with that. Meditation is the action to bring your mind where your body is. If I have one foot in the past and one foot in the future — well, I piss on the present.” — Philippe Jacquet
