What is mindfulness meditation?
What will be an ideal response?
As described by Kristeller (2007, p. 393), the non-concentrative form of meditation known as "mindfulness meditation may utilize any object of attention-whether an emotion, a breath, a physical feeling, an image, or an external object-such that there is more flexibility in the object of awareness than there is in concentrative meditation and such that the object may shift from moment to moment.". Attention is kept broader along a continuum of stimuli, and there is no judgment or analysis of one's stream of consciousness during meditation. Practitioners are encouraged to adopt a detached observer style during meditation. This form of meditation has its roots in Buddhist traditions of Japan, Thailand, Burma, Tibet, Vietnam, Korea, and China.
