Definitions:
"Mindfulness is the awareness that arises by paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgmentally."
-Jon Kabat-Zinn

Non-judgmentally means observing one's own mind in a way that doesn't make a judgment about whether what one is feeling or thinking is right or wrong

"Mindfulness is the awareness that arises out of intentionally paying attention in an open, kind, and discerning way."
-Shauna Shapiro

An open, kind, and discerning way means one is not forcing his mind to pay attention to something that he intend to pay attention to, but rather be in the present moment and not forcing anything

Benefits of practicing mindfulness
-Reduce stress
-Gain insight through observing our own mind
-Increase our attention to others' well-being
-Suspend judgment
etc.

Hi Julius!
This is really an amazing research space with evidence and example!

One of the most impressive points to me is that you talked about the differences and similarities between the past and now -- this is an idea i never think about!

At the same time, hope we all can make use of our abundant resources and have great academic discussions!
