- Abstract
Mindfulness is the practice of paying attention to the present moment in a purposeful and nonjudgmental manner (Kabat-Zinn, 1994). In this article, we integrate Choice Theory and Reality Therapy with Buddhist psychology along five different dimensions: (1) using awareness of the gap to enhance choice; (2) the nature of perception and filtering of the mind; (3) flow versus fixation in the quality world; (4) original nature and the quality world; and (5) basic goodness and the creative system. We also apply these five dimensions with two different case studies to demonstrate ways in which the integrative approach enhances understanding and effectiveness in counseling.
