holistic approaches

In Chapter 7, holistic approaches in counseling are presented, including the practice of mindfulness.  Kabat-Zinn defines mindfulness as "paying attention to the here and now, in a nonjudgmental manner".  What helps you be more mindful in your life, e.g., breathing exercises, meditation, physical exercise, etc.  For example, when I swim in the pool or in the ocean, I become very aware of the present, especially when I go under water - where all is silent and peaceful.  What feelings come to you as you engage in (or imagine engaging in) your mindfulness activity?
