Sati (SAH-tee) (noun): A Pali word from Buddhist tradition meaning “mindful awareness” or “being fully present in the moment.”

“Sati is not about trying to control the mind, but about gently observing it without judgment.”

Sati is the foundation of mindfulness—the simple yet powerful practice of paying attention with kindness and curiosity. It’s the mental muscle that helps us notice when we’re stuck in stress, worry, or autopilot, and gently bring ourselves back to what’s happening right now.

SMARTER INSIGHT
In daily life, sati is like a pause button. It can reduce anxiety and improve focus by anchoring us in the present, rather than the past or future. Mindful awareness has deep health benefits—mental clarity, emotional balance, and even physical well-being.

USE IT TODAY
Try a simple practice: for one minute, focus fully on your breath or the sounds around you. That’s sati in action—building calm, one moment at a time.
