The value of mindfulness

Mindfulness, according to Buddhist teachings, is foundational for wisdom. It involves having a profound awareness of our present moment experiences, recognizing interdependence and connection to the natural world. Mindfulness allows for emotion regulation by naming and witnessing emotions and shifting attention from anxious thoughts to present moment sensations. Meditation acts as a practice to develop mindfulness and apply it to everyday activities. By choosing to focus on the present moment, individuals can regulate emotions, make conscious choices, and respond rather than react impulsively.
