Mindfulness is a type of meditation that involves paying attention to your experiences without judgement. The term can cover various forms of meditation, including transcendental meditation, guided meditation and mindful movement, which is the practice of completing exercises while focusing on the movement of your body. Mindfulness has been credited with boosting mood, memory and health, and helping to reduce stress, fight inflammation and prevent pain.
