You will find that “mindfulness” is often used synonymously with meditation. Mindfulness usually refers to the practice of intentional awareness of one’s thoughts and actions in the present moment, non-judgmentally. Mindfulness is applied to both bodily actions and the mind’s own thoughts and feelings.

Right mindfulness is also known as Right Meditation.
