Etymology

The concept of mindfulness practice originates from ancient Buddhist teachings, particularly the practice of meditation. In recent years, it has gained popularity in Western psychology as a method for promoting mental well-being and reducing stress. Jon Kabat-Zinn, a professor emeritus of medicine, is often credited with popularizing mindfulness practice in a secular context through his work on Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) programs.
