Present school education is very much overburdened and creates a lot of mental obstacles in the process of learning. As we know that healthy mind is the primary condition for learning of any subject, the unhealthy mental condition leads to stress and resultants in the form of poor attainment of concepts. The poor attainment of concepts decreases learning. Therefore to maintain the attainment of the learners towards concepts of their school subjects, some physical and mental exercises are needed. Such exercises will support learners to be in active mental state. Over the last few years mindfulness based practices are being used as techniques or devices which enhance the consciousness of learners. The term mindfulness indicates a state of consciousness or alertness which was introduced by Jon kabat Zinn in 1979 at University of Massachusetts. It has set up its roots in foreign countries with a well-structured theoretical frame. The term concept attainment behaviour is an output of collective efforts of Gerome Bruner, Jacqueline Goodnow and George Austin (1967). The paper is conceptual in nature and highlights a conceptual background of mindfulness based practices and concept attainment behaviour. The paper also explains a theoretical relationship between mindfulness and concept attainment that how mindfulness based practices enhance consciousness and alertness which work as a key element for the expression of concept attainment behaviour among learners.
