One mindfulness image is likened to the flow of water cascading into a calm pool of water: Filling the body with full breathing through the nose, into the lifted chest, and down into the diaphragm as breath fills and falls, fills and falls.
Following the feel of the breath closely, seeing when mental distractions pull you away, and gently returning to awareness of breathing.
This is a fundamental practice in finding our ground outside the yanks and pulls of noisy mind chatter.

Psychotherapy is perhaps the most intimate way human beings work together toward psychological healing and growth.
For it to work, the client needs to experience a relationship of trust, hope, and nonjudgmental understanding from the therapist.
People work in therapy to the degree they feel the therapist is concerned about them and mutually engaged in the task of deeply understanding the nature of the problem.
Each person's struggle is different and requires higly focused attention by the therapist to explore it until it becomes clarified and, thus, workable for the client in new ways.

Mindfulness is an umbrella term for a number of related things.
First and foremost, mindfulness is a state of wide awake attention tuned into present experiences.
This is different from being lost in thoughts or other distractions from this present moment.
We tend to live in a light trance of mental chatter, self commenting, or going over the past or the future.
Additionally, mindfulness is being attentive without judgments.
It accepts what you are experiencing rather than futility trying to resist or control it.
