Briefly describe mindfulness meditation.

What will be an ideal response?


Mindfulness can be defined as a mental state of heightened awareness of the present moment. In mindfulness meditation, one focuses on becoming fully aware and accepting living in the present, paying particular attention to one's feelings, thoughts, sensations, and emotions without passing judgment, dwelling in the past, or projecting oneself into the future. Mindfulness meditation adheres to three basic tenets: observe, accept, and let go. Important during mindfulness meditation is not to worry about things that one has no control over. To live in the present, one must understand that the most significant event that one has control over is one's attitude. Having a clear understanding that the "storm will pass" and that "there is light at the end of every tunnel" will allow one to navigate through life's stressors and ultimately overcome challenges and enjoy happiness while living in the present moment.
