&gt; This observation fits together with studies that show the best way of maintaining mental harmony during mind-wandering is to be able to be aware of the fact that you are doing it<p>Given that being aware of something is the primary intent of mindfulness, I&#x27;d say this article&#x27;s author is misrepresenting what &quot;mindfulness&quot; actually means by using it to define something which is only orthogonally related. Technically speaking, anti-mindfulness would be defined as the <i>intentional</i> practice of <i>not observing</i> one&#x27;s thought or being aware of them. The quote above seems to indicate one is aware of the process.<p>I live in the Bay and I have not personally observed a group or movement with the primary <i>intent</i> of going around trying to not be aware of what they are thinking or doing. That happens naturally enough in people with their noses in phones on the sidewalk!
