"Mindfulness means paying attention in a particular way: on purpose, in the present moment, and nonjudgmentally. This kind of attention nurtures greater awareness, clarity, and acceptance of present-moment reality. It wakes us up to the fact that our lives unfold only in moments. If we are not fully present for many of those moments, we may not only miss what is most valuable in our lives but also fail to realize the richness and the depth of our possibilities for growth and transformation."
~ Jon Kabat-Zinn, Wherever You Go There You Are: Mindfulness Meditation in Everyday Life
"Mindfulness: The state of being fully present, without habitual reactions."
~ Sharon Salzberg and Joseph Goldstein, Insight Meditation
"Mindfulness could also be described as 'heartfulness' because it is really about a compassionate awareness."
~ Williams, et al, The Mindful Way through Depression
"Mindfulness means that we are aware of what is happening within our body and mind in any given moment, without trying to judge or pull away."
~ Tara Brach, Radical Acceptance
