Mindful Presence and Your Inner World

Let’s unpack those two words, mindful presence. Mindfulness is simply a clear, non-judgmental awareness of your inner and outer worlds. In particular, it’s an awareness of the flow of experience in your inner world – an alert observing of your thoughts, emotions, body sensations, desires, memories, images, personality dynamics, attitudes, etc.

Being Mindful

When you are mindful of something, you are observing it, not caught up in it, and not identified with it.

Other terms for this capacity include bare witnessing and the Fair Witness.
