Customer Reviews
The Church has sometimes been accused of arriving ‘a little breathless and a little late,’ to some important developments. This little booklet helps to remind us that the current fad for techniques of ‘mindfulness’ have their roots in a religious framework, and are more likely to bear fruit within such a structure. The booklet is somewhat critical of the modern trend which proposes ‘mindfulness’ as a secular alternative to prayer, meditation and contemplation. This helpful guide for schools and others draws a necessary distinction, and highlights the richness of the religious tradition and practice

Description
In recent years, the practice of mindfulness has become ever more popular in Ireland, with many teachers regularly deploying various mindfulness and meditation techniques with children in a classroom setting.
The Council for Catechetics of the Irish Episcopal Conference has produced this helpful document to assist teachers and educators in evaluating the contemporary practice of mindfulness. In doing so, it will help readers to embrace the various spiritual and meditative practices found in the Christian tradition and to understand what distinguishes the Christian practices of prayer, meditation and contemplation from that of other traditions.
