The practice of mindfulness involves bringing one's attention to the present moment, observing thoughts, feelings, and sensations without judgment. This can be done through formal meditation sessions, where individuals set aside dedicated time for focused awareness. Additionally, participants can integrate mindfulness into their daily activities by bringing a sense of mindful presence to everyday tasks, such as eating, walking, or interacting with others. The key is to cultivate a habit of mindfulness, incorporating it into one's daily routine, and nurturing a compassionate and non-judgmental attitude towards oneself and others.

The ancient text 'Satipatthana Sutta', also known as the ""Discourse on the Foundations of Mindfulness"" and is a foundational text for mindfulness meditation practices in various Buddhist traditions.
The text teaches mindfulness as a path to understand reality and overcome suffering. It focuses on four areas: body, feelings, mind, and mental objects. Practicing mindfulness in these areas leads to insight and liberation.
