Mindfulness is the mental state achieved by focusing on the present moment while acknowledging one's feelings, thoughts, and sensations. Meditation, akin to gym exercise, enhances mindfulness away from everyday life. In this course, we'll focus on art to achieve a mentally clear, emotionally calm, and stable state.
