Mindfulness is a skill which has been extensively studied, validated, and adapted to Western psychology, with elements integrated into Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy. Although you can find great resources (including free audio downloads and online videos) at sites such as the UCLA Mindful Awareness Research Center and the Oxford Mindfulness Centre, this video features the roots of the practice in Buddhism.
