In times of turmoil and anxiety—when so many people seem in need of our help—the contemplative practices of mindfulness can seem counter-intuitive. “Is sitting here quietly really helping anyone?” But like other sorts of personal protective equipment, the practices of mindfulness prepare our hearts and minds to effectively and sustainably support those around us. We will investigate how mindfulness practices that make the mind calm, but also bright, establish a foundation for enacting immediate, incisive change: in our family units, in our professional units, and within culture as a whole.
