From a therapeutic, nonreligious standpoint, mindfulness is a conscious awareness of the present moment. Openness and lack of judgement towards experience are examples of this. It frequently coexists with other therapeutic modalities like cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), or acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).  Relaxation is not a focus of mindfulness therapy, though it may come about as a result of some techniques. Our goal is to become more conscious of the ideas, emotions, and behaviours that impede our development. When we become more adept at doing that, we may interact with those facets of ourselves, develop language skills, and decide how to react. Therapy that uses mindfulness and relaxation practices is ideal for relieving physical and emotional symptoms of stress, anxiety or other mental health concerns, as well as physical pain and chronic illness. It is based on the knowledge that the ability to build consciousness of the present moment can also support relaxation and create distance between the self and negative, unhealthy thoughts. Mindfulness, meditation, and relaxation techniques allow you to acknowledge thoughts and feelings, sit with them, and let them pass – disconnecting from the power they once held to reduce stress.
