Mindfulness

In clinical psychology and well-being, mindfulness is the practice of maintaining moment-by-moment awareness of bodily sensations, feelings, thoughts, and immediate surroundings with a non-judgmental or equanimous attitude, counteracting [the mind's] automatic rumination and cognitive elaborations "on what manifests itself in experience". The term mindfulness derives from the Pali word sati, a significant element of Buddhist traditions, and secular mindfulness incorporates elements from Theravada, Chan, and Tibetan Buddhist meditation techniques.
