“The most precious gift we can offer others is our presence. When
mindfulness embraces those we love, they will bloom like flowers.” ~
Thich Nhat Hanh
Mindfulness is the cognitive skill, usually developed through meditation, of sustaining meta-attention of the contents of one's own mind in the present moment. Mindfulness derives from sati, a significant element of Hindu and Buddhist traditions, and is based on Zen, Vipassanā, and Tibetan meditation techniques.
