Introduction: Recent years has seen an increased focus on mindfulness and its numerous benefits, while mindfulness programs have made their way into the fields of education, mental health, work place stress reduction, and leadership development. Part of the reason why mindfulness is popping up everywhere in widely different contexts is that it is not simply about learning a narrow, specific skill. Rather, it is about learning a new way of approaching our usual tasks with a state of mind ready to accept, grow, learn, transform, and empower. It is therefore endlessly applicable throughout our lives.
