Mindfulness is the cognitive skill, usually developed through exercises, of sustaining metacognitive awareness towards the contents of one's own mind and bodily sensations in the present moment. The term mindfulness derives from the Pali word sati, a significant element of Buddhist traditions, and the practice is based on ānāpānasati , Chan, and Tibetan meditation techniques. . Since the 1990s, secular mindfullness has gained popularity in the west.
