Two psychological processes refer to our awareness and attention. Awareness is the process by which we monitor our environment, interior and exterior environment all of which enter into our consciousness. We are not always spaying attention to what we are aware of, attention is what we are focusing on, the limited content that we pick up, particular aspects of what we are aware of. Person who is meditating still ahs thoughts and worries and feelings, but they are not overwhelmed, stepping out of the stream of thoughts and feelings, watching it go by (quality of dis-attachment) Assumption that this is not the particular experience reserved for one group of people, mindfulness is an experience which all of us practise, tends to come and go, fluctuates. Some of us either through good fortune or disciplined practise experience more states of mindfulness than others.
