Mindfulness is paying attention to what is going on in and
around you, in a deliberate way. It can have numerous
benefits, although it doesn’t eliminate stress or other
difficulties; instead, by becoming aware of unpleasant
thoughts and emotions that arise because of challenging
situations, we have more choice in how to handle them in the
moment — and a better chance of reacting calmly and
empathetically when faced with stress or challenges.
Meditation is one way to practice mindfulness, a training
ground. At first, we meditate to become familiar with the
here and now for a limited period. Over time, however,
regularly practicing mindfulness helps us develop the ability
to be present throughout the day, every day. Christian
meditation combines these benefits with Scripture and
becoming more aware of God throughout the day.
