In yoga this may mean “union”, all aspects of the whole. One may think of it as an inner state of consciousness that includes everything. A state reached in meditation, also a state…
Mindfulness is when the mind is fully aware of itself, in its body. It is the mind tuned in to its immediate physical reality, not dominated by thought or emotiona.
