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 Thinking Versus Sensing exercise is a mindfulness practice designed to help clients differentiate between cognitive and sensory processes. This exercise is particularly useful in cultivating mindfulness by encouraging practitioners to notice their thinking patterns versus their physical experiences without judgment.
