Some years ago, I saw in TIME Magazine, they were advertising a book called: Mindfulness, The New Science of Health and Happiness. It reminded me of when the Spanish came to America, and they "discovered" it, like somebody had lost it? It was a new continent. The fact that people had been living there for thousands of years didn’t matter. And so likewise, mindfulness is now a "new" science because scientists have just discovered it.
