Mindfulness & Meditation

Mindfulness, meditation, and mindfulness meditation are three overlapping concepts.

Mindfulness is a present-moment awareness of experience. When we are fully mindful, we see internal and external experiences as transitory and not a reflection of who we really are. We also see clearly that how the mind relates to experience can create misery or peace. We can practice mindfulness at any moment of the day, no matter what we are doing.

Meditation can refer to an infinite variety of practices across a range of spiritual and therapeutic traditions. Devin tends to focus mostly on those that have roots in the early Buddhist tradition. He also leads some guided visualizations that are rooted in more recent, Western psychotherapy techniques.

Mindfulness meditation is when we set aside some time and space to just practice being mindful. It’s an opportunity to really study the mind in-depth. They key difference between regular mindfulness and mindfulness meditation is that when we meditate we drop our intention to do anything else besides cultivate mindfulness.
