A mindful way of being
Q: What is the difference between mindfulness and meditation?
A: I would say that they are both yoga. They are both methods for helping to quiet the chatter in our minds, for bringing unity and equanimity. Meditation is a more formal practice that requires you to withdraw from the world around you and detach from the activity of the mind. Essentially I see meditation as an internal exploration in, and into, stillness.
Mindfulness is being fully present, without judgment, in the current moment. Practising mindfulness means you are fully aware of what is happening in that moment: thoughts and emotions, the external vista or activity you are participating in.
