What is Mindfulness?

Mindfulness is the ability to see things as they really are, without the cloud of feelings, prejudice, or even mood. Mindfulness originates from Eastern Buddhist Psychology and can be a key part of meditation. It is also used in western culture as a therapeutic technique to reduce stress, pain, and even help with depression. It can be used to find and maintain a sense of gratitude toward life.
