WHAT IS MINDFULNESS AND WHAT IS ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH EMOTIONAL EDUCATION?

[ayeshshiddika11]

Mindfulness is a technique used to train and improve attention and is a central concept for emotional education. As it has so much to do with the way we manage our focus of attention, it is also called full attention.

Although mindfulness is often associated with Buddhism or other world religions that use it implicitly or explicitly, it is taught without Eastern or religious connotations or terminology, since it is a basic, human ability to connect with the present.

This ability helps us to be intimate with our own experience, whether pleasant or unpleasant, to be in the present and to pay attention consciously, with interest, curiosity and acceptance. It allows us to consciously work through stress and other life challenges by accepting them without judging.

It seems like a small thing; it seems very simple to live in the present moment, but, although we think we have conscious control of our attention, in reality we are often thinking about the past, the future, or rather, we jump from one to the other. In fact, learning to control this ability requires practice to perfect it. The two main techniques on which mindfulness is based are: breathing and relaxation.
