Introduction

Human mind is a complex structure that processes a number of thoughts and emotions at the same time. A person goes through a number of situations and conditions on a daily basis. Some of them are positive, some are negative, but every situation leaves a mark on the human mind. Sometimes these marks are short-lived, but other times, these marks or impacts go for a long time. When a person knows precisely what they are going through, it is called Mindfulness. Mindfulness is a state of non-judgmental, moment-by-moment awareness of the exact location and position of one’s own mental and physical condition (Langer, & Ngnoumen, 2017). These conditions include thoughts, feelings, emotions, physical sensations, and the surrounding environment.

Theories or Modalities of Mindfulness

There are multiple theories or modalities of the concept of mindfulness, that link it to the wellness or mental well-being of a person. There are various theories or ways in which mindfulness can be practiced. One of the most popular and most useful methods is meditation. Many people, including many experts and psychologists, believe that mediation is the key to mindfulness. It leads to a better way of living life. Moreover, the second modality of mindfulness is attention. Attention means to get complete control of the mind and have a clear and vivid form of thought.

Practicing mindfulness can be a great source of peace and calmness for the human brain. Meditation and attention both can prove to be extremely beneficial in curing complex mental disorders like stress, anxiety and even depression.
