1. 1 :  the quality or state of being mindful

Being mindful of the living moment was a Jedi term from Star Wars. Mindfulness is an occurrence that happens in our lives daily. much of the time we blindly continue on with life in a sort of auto-pilot. our heads are filled with plans, ideas, thoughts about either the past or the future. the moments we enter into true mindfulness are when we are literally pushed into it. The light just turned red but our thoughts or attention was elsewhere for the moment (either past or future?)

Mindful Interventions is a way or more precisely a system of awareness of our precious present, in the midst of whatever problem, trouble, or crisis we may be experiencing in the moment. usually, we are busy projecting either what may happen or projecting about what the other persons I the environment may be thinking or possibly acting. By bringing our focus into the very present moment we afford ourselves a clear view of the immediate situation and ourselves in it.

It is this clarity and a new focus that helps us better deal with the situation and more overall, our lives day-to-day. Mindful counseling and mindfulness training helps bring much-needed clarity. I have trained staff at a local hospital in the past on managing agitated and violent persons with a mindfulness approach. The focus of this training, mindfulness, is effective in helping you with your daily life, goals for the future, your peace of mind in the moment.
