The whole practice is paying attention on purpose, which sounds like nothing until you try to do it for sixty seconds. The mind wanders off immediately. NOTICE, GROUND, PAUSE, RELEASE. The grid is a small exercise in exactly that: keeping your attention on one thing while everything else competes for it.
Print it as a mindfulness word search or a mindfulness word find. The sheet does not change, only the label does.
Frequently asked questions
How is mindfulness different from meditation?
Meditation is usually a set practice you sit down to do. Mindfulness is the wider habit of paying attention, which you can carry into anything, including a puzzle.
What does GROUND mean here?
Bringing your attention back to the body and the present moment, often through the breath or the feeling of the floor underfoot.
