I share a conversation I had with one of my artist clients about this topic. Hyper-focus refers to being fully engrossed and present in a task or activity, demonstrating high levels of concentration and absorption. While this can be seen as a form of mindfulness, the goal of mindfulness practice is to bring present moment awareness into all aspects of life, not just those that are stimulating or interesting. I also introduce John Kabat-Zinn, a Western doctor and founder of the Center for Mindfulness, who has played a significant role in bringing mindfulness into medicine.
