The word mindfulness is used as a term to point to an inherent capacity to be aware and present. Our mind in its ordinary way is usually preoccupied with the past or with making plans for the future. Most people are rarely fully present, because it means being fully aware of what is happening at this moment and letting things happen. Mindfulness stands for the ability to be open and allowing to experience. Mindfulness is awareness of feelings, emotions, sensations, and thoughts.
