​An increasingly common secular practice, ________ involves a focus of attention and an open attitude.

A) ​meditation
B) qi gong​
C) tai chi​
D) ​biofeedback

Meditation involves a focus of attention on the present moment and an open attitude towards thoughts and sensations without judgment or distraction. Qi gong and tai chi also involve meditation-like movements, but the practices are paired with physical activity. Biofeedback involves using electronic monitoring devices to provide individuals feedback about physiological processes and is not necessarily focused on mindfulness or awareness.
