La consapevolezza è considerata l'elemento centrale della meditazione buddista, ma la sua essenza è universale e di profonda utilità pratica per tutti. Essenzialmente la consapevolezza è essere sempre vigili e, malgrado sia caratteristico della nostra mente innescare il pilota automatico e perdere il contatto con l'unico momento, quello presente, di cui effettivamente disponiamo per vivere, sentire, crescere, amare, dare forma alle cose o guarire, essa possiede anche l'innata capacità di destarci al "qui e ora".

La atención plena se sitúa en el corazón de la meditación budista, pero su esencia es universal y tiene un profundo beneficio práctico para todo el mundo. Con frecuencia, nuestra mente no es consciente de las múltiples posibilidades que encierra el momento presente y de su belleza única, ya que nuestra naturaleza alberga una tendencia al automatismo que nos aleja del contacto con el único tiempo que tenemos para vivir, crecer, sentir, amar, aprender y darle forma a las cosas.
