Although meditation has been around for eons, the area of "Mindfulness Meditation" seems to have become particularly popular over the past few decades. I remember in the 1980s and 1990s trying to make my brain focus on a void, nothingness, wiping away any thoughts or feelings that may come up during meditation. But, Mindfulness meditation helps one become non-judgmentally aware of our moment-to-moment thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and environment. According to a blog post in Psychology Today, Mindfulness meditation "teaches us how to be unconditionally present; that is, it helps us be present with whatever is happening, no matter what it is."
