Mindfulness describes the capacity to be fully aware and present to our momentary experience. Called sati in the Pali language, mindfulness is supported by a nonjudgmental attitude in which one accepts and receives the present moment as it actually is. Naturally imbued with equanimity and free from reactivity, mindful attention is not distorted by desires or aversions, likes or dislikes, hopes or fears.
