[Avodah] Mindfulness and Being Present in the Moment

[Boruch Horowitz]

"One could argue that there are many tzaddikim and talmidai chachamim,  living and deceased, who are Mindful. But, I don't think that that is proof that being Mindful is a Jewish value or that Judaism encourages  cultivating Mindfulness".
   
  Interesting question. Perhaps it's a hechsher, and a means of actualizing  other Jewish values. Mindfullness can be used, for example, as a tool for concentration in tefilah. See this essay, especially at the beginning of Chapter 3.
