Mindfulness in behavioral health January 1, 2016 Rick Repetti 27 citations
Mindfulness is a quality of consciousness opposite to mindlessness, cultivable through practice and almost always beneficial to those who develop it. This response counters critics who oppose secularized mindfulness on grounds that it is not authentic Buddhism, that it is Buddhism, or that it serves neo-capitalist exploitation. The author argues mindfulness has universal value as a quality of awareness that improves well-being and personal development, not as a religious practice or tool for exploitation.
