its simply about observing the mind. it doesn't encourage you to not think, thats a common misconception. mindfulness is simply about developing awareness and resilience, to be able to let yourself experience your emotions and thoughts without getting caught up in them and adding energy into them. instead it helps develop the ability to let the mind and body process emotions and thoughts and at the same time increase your awareness and perceptiveness within. revealing your own inner world to you as you observe your thoughts and emotions. its about getting to know your inner world. you can use it however you wish, develop attachments to internal narratives as much as the outside world, or be detached and float in nothingness, letting life slide by.
