Mindfulness meditation

In the embedded video the definition of Mindfulness is given as: "Bringing attention to the present moment on purpose without judgement."

Definition of TR-O from Scientology Tech Dictionary: "a drill to train students to confront a preclear with auditing only or with nothing. The whole idea is to get the student able to be there comfortably in a position three feet in front of a preclear, to be there and not do anything else but be there. (HCOB 16 Aug 71 II)"

Celebrities endorsing it include Emma Watson, Davina McCall, Angelina Jolie and Oprah Winfrey.

"I’d like to ask your take on something. I’ve recently been exploring what is currently called “mindfulness movement,” my impression of which is a westernized Buddhist practice.
