Mindfulness is a skill to help people foster a connection with the present moment. The Psychology Tools For Mindfulness Audio Collection offers structured, guided exercises based on evidence-based mindfulness techniques that help users cultivate present moment awareness and acceptance.

Mindfulness practice is a core component of several evidence-based therapies, including mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). Across these models, mindfulness is used to enhance present-moment awareness, reduce experiential avoidance, and foster a more accepting relationship with thoughts and emotions.

The Body Scan exercise enhances mindfulness by guiding clients to focus on various body parts, allowing them to form a deeper connection with bodily sensations. During the exercise, clients are led to explore physical sensations by imagining their attention as a spotlight illuminating different body areas, fostering an open and non-judgmental awareness. This guided script helps bring awareness and curiosity to one's physical experience.
