Essence of Mindfulness

I went into the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to confront only the essential facts of life, and see if I could learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.
Henry David Thoreau

MBSR begins on Tuesday. Eight weeks, one group session per week, daily practices, one full Saturday retreat. I am so looking forward to this experience. What is Mindfulness? According to Kabat-Zinn, it is paying attention in a particular way, on purpose.... It is a practice that uses motivation & intention to cultivate, sustain and integrate awareness into the present moment with non-judgmental acceptance.
