Mindfulness is the awareness that emerges through paying attention on purpose, in the present moment, with compassion, and open-hearted curiosity. Through cultivating mindful awareness, we discover how to live in the present moment rather than brooding about the past or worrying about the future.

CONT

[La] pleine conscience consiste à ramener son attention sur l'instant présent et à examiner les sensations qui se présentent à l'esprit, comment elles apparaissent, comment elles durent quelque temps, et comment elles disparaissent.

OBS

Celui qui a suggéré comme traduction française le terme «pleine conscience» est Jon Kabat-Zinn, professeur émérite de l'Université médicale du Massachusetts, qui a grandement contribué à populariser cette pratique en Occident en l'intégrant à sa thérapie de réduction du stress («mindfulness-based stress reduction», ou «MBSR»).
