Mindfulness is a Three Step Process

The contemporary definition of mindfulness is: Awareness of the present moment, on purpose, in a particular way, non-judgmentally.

The word non-judgmental that is a dominant part of the definition refers to a state. This is the way I will be with experience. I believe mindfulness is a MULTIFACETED PROCESS of how one is present with what is known and responds to it.

The overarching map of mindfulness involves three components.

* AWARENESS: Awareness of what is present.
* RELATIONSHIP: How to develop a wholesome relationship with the present moment by directly experiencing what is known without resistance through insight into selfing.
* ACTION: How to act skillfully through non-identification with the sense of self.
