- 소개/요약According to Jon Kabat-Zinn’s operationalworking definition18, mindfulness is the awarenessthat emerges through paying attention on purpose,in the present moment, and non-judgmentally to theunfolding of experience, moment by moment.Traditional Buddhist mindful meditation aims todevelop a state of consciousness based onpurposefully observing one’s own exterior andinterior experience. It involves sustained attentionto the flow of sensations, thoughts and feelings.Initially, the objective of the practice was spiritualillumination. Since 1979, when Kabat-Zinnlaunched the Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction(MBSR) Program, for clients with medicalproblems such as severe pain and distress fromchronic physical health conditions, the approach was integrated into a wide range of therapeuticinterventions, in clinical and educational settings,without its religious or philosophical underpinnings.In a state of mindfulness, thoughts and feelings areobserved as events in the mind, without overidentifying with them and without reacting to themin an automatic, habitual pattern of reactivity5. It isdifficult to reach a consensus regarding thedefinition of mindfulness, but various authors agreethat it can be viewed both as a process of selfobservation and as an outcome, a special type ofconsciousness and self-knowledge. Bishop et al.propose a two-component operational psychologicalmodel5, involving: 1) the self-regulation of thefocus of attention, allowing an increasedrecognition of the current experience of thoughts,feelings and sensations, and 2) an open, acceptingorientation towards the present moment, in aprocess of relating openly and with acceptance toexperience, on the other side. In this sense, Bishopargues that mindfulness is a metacognitive skill thatmonitors and controls the stream of consciousness
