Editors’ Blog: September 2011

Here at Mindful.org, we're committed to covering, and being a part of, the emerging mindfulness movement. At times we even refer to it as the “mindfulness revolution” (see the recent anthology edited by Barry Boyce with that very name). While that may seem like overreaching, it starts with a simple truth: more and more people are taking what they’ve learned from their longtime commitment to mindfulness, awareness, and compassion practices, and they’re applying it to all aspects of our society, in both profound and ordinary ways. All of this great work is motivated by the aspiration to bring the scientifically proven benefits of these practices to help us with the difficult challenges of our time.
