Mindfulness includes at least two mental processes: a stream of mental events and a higher level awareness of the flow of events.<ref name=":5" /> Mindfulness can be distinguished from some metacognition processes in that it is a conscious process.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Hussain |first=Dilwar |date=2015-10-16 |title=Meta-Cognition in Mindfulness: A Conceptual Analysis |url=http://psyct.psychopen.eu/article/view/139 |journal=Psychological Thought |volume=8 |issue=2 |pages=132–141 |doi=10.5964/psyct.v8i2.139 |issn=2193-7281|doi-access=free }}</ref>{{Rp|page=137}}
