Understanding mindfulness, one moment at a time: an introduction to the special issue.

This special issue introduction argues that mindfulness is best understood as a dynamic, moment-to-moment process rather than a static trait or skill. The authors suggest that research should focus on the temporal and contextual nature of mindful awareness, examining how it unfolds in real time across different situations. They call for studies that capture the fluid and situated aspects of mindfulness, moving beyond traditional self-report measures to better reflect its lived, experiential quality. The introduction sets the stage for a collection of articles that explore mindfulness through this process-oriented lens, aiming to deepen theoretical and empirical understanding of the phenomenon.
