Mindfulness is in todo lugar: apps, books, workshops bodyrativos. But what is it, really?
The Concept
Mindfulness (mindfulness) é a practice of being present in the current moment, observing thoughts and sensations without judgment. Vem da Buddhist tradition, secularized by Jon Kabat-Zinn.
How to Practice
A practice is surprisingly simple: 1. Choose something to observe (breathing, sensations, sounds) 2. Pay full attention 3. When the mind wanders, notice and return 4. Without judgment — nem sobre os thoughts, nem sobre sua "performance"

Mindfulness vs. Vedānta
Mindfulness calms the mind and develops presence. Vedānta uses that calm mind to investigate the nature of being. They are complementary.
Mindfulness question: "what is happening now?" Vedānta question: "who is observing what happens?"
Start with mindfulness e, when you're ready, explore Vedānta.
