What's The Difference Between Awareness And Mindfulness?

[JoseM]

There are similar concepts so it can be hard to draw the line between the two.

We can be aware of what's around us, find deeper richness & depths in the ordinary, every day.

We can be mindful of what's within each of us, what we are. We can be mindful that no matter who you are, or what you have or haven't done, that your attention will always be the greatest gift you have to give. 

One draws on the illusion, the other on the mind.

Awareness is the part of our consciousness that observes the present moment, mindfulness is when we have awareness as the focus of our mind.
