Jon Kabat-Zinn has been instrumental in Mindfulness achieving widespread
acceptance in a variety of applications, such as in public schools.
Mindfulness has been defined as “the awareness that emerges through paying attention on purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgmentally to the unfolding of experience moment to moment”
(Kabat-Zinn, 2003).
Mindfulness can be used to increase the space between a stimulus and one’s response to it, enabling improved decision making ability and shifts in long-standing behaviors.
