MINDFULLNESS
What? Mindfulness is the practice of paying attention that helps us consciously live in the present. It is practiced in silence, paying attention to the breath, sensations, emotions, sounds, and more.
Why? Because we live on autopilot, distracted by multi-tasking and suffer our thoughts without realizing that they come and go and that we don’t have to identify with them. The practice of Mindfulness allows us to recognize our negative thought patterns, before they overwhelm us and drag us into a downward spiral. It gives us back control of our lives.
What? Learning to pay attention intentionally, in the present moment, with an open mind and without judgment.
When? At any time of life, in fact, it can be practiced at any time of the day, in any place, in any situation.
“At one point I thought life was about acquiring things.
Life is totally just losing all things.”
Mike Tyson
“How people treat you is their karma, how you react is yours.”
Wayne Dyer
“Mindfulness has been found to develop the ability to inhibit sudden emotional impulses.”
Alan Pardee
“The obstacle is the path.”
ZEN proverb
Meditation
Thing? Meditation is the very simple act of being consciously present.
Because? To be able to fully experience and enjoy the journey of life, in our physical being, in that exact place and time. Neuroscience has confirmed that 90% of our behaviors are driven by the unconscious… The good news is that we can come to know and manage it with meditation!
What? Millennia of Eastern and Western culture and philosophy offer us hundreds of possible types of meditation. You may feel confused at first, but there’s no reason to do so; No method is superior to another, the only thing to do is to stop the body and pay attention to the breath so the mind stops distracting us and we can perceive our pure essence. Believe me: it happens, of course. It’s just a matter of getting started and practicing regularly.
When? There is no specific or optimal moment, everyone meets their own easily.
The correct question is “When do you start?”
And the correct answer is “NOW”.
As soon as you start to feel the benefits, meditation will become a daily practice like feeding, working, or brushing your teeth.
“Meditation could be called the Art of Simplicity: simply sitting, simply breathing, and simply being.”

Mindfulness
Vs
Meditation?
In short, my answer is:
Mindfulness is the awareness of something, while meditation is more the awareness of nothing.
Let’s dig a little deeper.
Mindfulness is being aware. It’s noticing and paying attention to thoughts, feelings, behaviors… with a word to reality, all without expectation or judgment. It can be practiced, or rather embodied, at any time, any place, whoever we are, whatever we are doing, simply by remaining fully present in the here and now. For example, you can eat or walk mindfully.
Meditation is basically a tool or practice adopted to cultivate mindfulness or mindfulness. So it’s an intentional practice that calms us down, helps us to be mindful, and helps us achieve emotional balance.
At a high level, the practice of meditation can really put us in touch with our spiritual essence, our deep higher self, and our infinite life potential.
