Mindfulness allows the experience to flow into the present moment and recognize reality as such. Live and accept, staying with the experience without pretending to avoid it
The practice of mindfulness is the basic human capacity to connect with the present and to have experience. Many world religions use mindfulness in many ways to refine and deepen this capacity to high degrees.
All people must recognize and accept the reality of what happens to them, regardless of whether it is good or bad, that is what life is all about. You can't select what I like or what I don't like, because after all, it's the experience of living.
