Mindfulness “consists of the development of a particular kind of attention, characterized by a nonjudgmental awareness, openness, curiosity, and acceptance of internal and external present experiences, which allows practitioners to act more reflectively rather than impulsively.”
Chiesa A, Serretti A. Mindfulness-based stress reduction for stress management in healthy people: a review and meta-analysis. J Altern Complement Med 2009; 15(5): 593-600.
With mindfulness practice, we behave less often from the brain stem level (impulsive, reactive), and more consistently from the prefrontal cortex level (reflective, judgment).
We are directly responsible for intentionally evolving our own consciousness.
