Preface
"[M]indfulness is: the wareness that emerges through paying
attention on purpose, in the present moment, and nonjudgmentally to
the unfolding of experience moment by moment."
--Jon Kabat-Zinn, Mindfulness-Based Interventions in Context: Past,
Present, and Future, 10 (2) Clinical Psychol.: Sci. & Prac.
144 (2003)
"[M]indfulness is what arises when you pay attention, on purpose,
in the present moment, non-judgmentally, and as if your life depended
on it. And what arises is nothing other than awareness itself. Awareness
is a capacity that we are all intimately familiar with and yet are
simultaneously complete strangers to."
--Jon Kabat-Zinn, Mindfulness for Beginners: Reclaiming
the Present Moment--and Your Life 17 (Boulder, Colorado: Sounds
True, 2012)
