"Until recently, the dominant public narrative of mindfulness has focused on the benefits for individuals –
by slowing down, paying more attention, and letting go of reactivity,
we pave the way for reduced stress and greater personal contentment.
While this is true, and the sensible place to start, perhaps it’s time for a more socially-engaged story of mindfulness to emerge.
As we make a deeper journey into the heart of mindfulness, we discover it leads to a heartfelt, warm, and altruistic expansion of energy out to the world, rather than a retreat from it."
-Ed Halliwell
Excerpt from “Mindfulness goes beyond the meditation cushion - it’s a way of life.”
