Mindfulness is awareness that arises through paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, non-judgmentally and accepting them as they are. An individual attempts to control the focus and direction of their attention without rejecting or suppressing thoughts.[1] It has been proposed that mindfulness could be utilised in an integrated body-mind intervention for lower back pain for a subgroup of patients who have higher disability due to increased emotional and psychological needs.[2]

Kabat-Zinn describes seven core components of mindfulness practice which interact with each other. They are non-judging, patience, a beginner's mind, trust, non-striving, acceptance and letting go.
